Is it meaningful to become a fan without posting a fan message or a comment in any specific hub?
Is it worth that hubbers sending a fan mail to a fellow hubber without a fan message or a single comment on any of the hubs?
To me it is meaningless. It lacks the creative interaction and a creative mind. Actually, it turns out to be a CREATIVE DEALING which is not acceptable. Writing is an intellectual work so why should it be treated as mere business?
Let writers be writers.
I agree that it is meaningless without an actual feeling of kinship or admiration for a fellow writer. But I'm an old-fashioned person who prefers to actually relate to people if I express interest in them. And if the relating is based on writing or any creative effort, there needs to be a sincere interest in theirs. Numbers are meaningless except - as you express it creatively - as "dealing" - which is meaningless to me, as well.
As long as you know what they are writing about and agree or respect it I dont see a problem with it.

Some of the good articles of fellow members get shifted to network sites but when I read them there then I do not find find the comment box below them. If I want to comment what to do?

A weird problem I have noticed today and yesterday, is that when I post a comment on to another hubber's hub, as soon as I click "post", I am immediately spun up to the top of the hub, and when I scroll down again my comment has vanished, so I have to try to remember exactly what I said...

A way to filter out hubtivity showing someone using one of those programs that just joins the fan clubs willy nilly? It's annoying. Better yet, outlaw it. It makes that persons membership in your fan club meaningless, as well as make their own fan base meaningless. They...
