A Flickr Rant

In the past few months, the majority of the photo comments I've received on Flickr come from group owners wanting me to add my photo to their group.

I'm flattered, and I know they mean well, but I'm getting a bit sick of it and I consider it a form of spamming.

Whatever happened to making a comment about a photo just because you like it? Why not spend a sentence or two, or even a paragraph, telling me why you like my photo before you ask me to put it in your group?

At one time, I usually clicked "yes" to those kinds of requests, but now I'm planning on ignoring most of them. I want some legitimate comments, dammit!
