Patricia:
I have many of those "no comment" tributes as well; it's like a feeling of
elation (receiving karma) and followed by
emptiness (no comments). A bit like unrequited love—you put forth all your efforts only to be teased with nothing...
It does, however, remind me of a remarkable line in a TV adaptation of Twain's
Prince and the Pauper, namely (and I paraphrase):
"I shall take a slackened jaw, as a similar sign of respect", said the young Prince upon his first introduction to the Pauper!
So maybe actions do speak volumes....
