Wow, that's disheartening

I just checked the number of downloads for my baseball kit which I posted two days ago. There were 1,120 downloads! That makes me so happy! I am really glad that people liked it. There were 34 comments left :( That makes me sad. Actually, it's more like, it ticks me off. I know that sometimes you forget, get distracted.... whatever but I don't think THAT many people just forgot or said ooops. Since I host my own downloads I can tell where the person came from so I know that the links haven't been passed out. All the downloads came from my blog so it's not even piracy. Don't know if I will be posting anymore freebies anytime soon.

I know how disheartening it can be now too Terrell. I just checked my freebies to see and I had 1 comment at the links and there were 52 downloads taken so I feel for you hun. I don't understand how you can forget, I guess sometimes people are in such a rush to download as much as they can that they never click the back button to make the comment. I just hope they are giving you credit for your work when they use it in their LO's. Chin up hun, some of us are very appreciative of all of your hard work, especially when we know that you could easily have sold that kit, it's just so great and lots of people will use it for their kids/grandkids' LO of little league.

I know it must be very disheartening to see so many d/ls and hardly no comments, but keep your spirits high! Maybe now next time more will comment =) Thanks for all you do!

Hey, I understand being disheartened by people downloading and not giving thanks. But just so you know, I have alot of friend that aren't too computer knowledgeable that I work with. And if it doesn't say (Post comment here in big bold letters) they sometimes just don't see it or even know how to place one. It took me a little bit to find everyones comments. So don't be too hard on everyone. We are trying. I know there are a few that probably never give thanks but there are a lot of us that do and we really, really appreciate it. So, again from all of us we say thanks.

ps..is that too much...I really do have friend that are just afraid to click on anything to find something. They just don't know that they can. It has to say click here or post here for them to realize it. They'll get the hand of it sometime. Sorry for being kind of blunt. Just trying to help. But BAD BAD BAD to those that don't even try to say thanks.
