Yes, in most cases, when reading your travel posts, I just let it take its effect on me. Like watching the sunset or listening to a piece of music. So, I'm reading your posts, but rarely comment.
In general, I think it's a problem here that for a comment to get attention (and upvotes), one has to reply as soon as possible after the post appears. That might be one reason why many comments are superficial, not well thought through, and why sometimes it becomes apparent that commentators didn't even took time to read the post carefully.
I still reply to comments even if the post is old.
Yeah, these days I don't bother to answer all comments anymore. Just some.
