It's not about the adulation. I'm pretty sure I could write for most of the current Known Non-Commenters and still get comments, because I almost always get non-recip comments. Hell, a few of the best-known non-commenters like FF_D might even mean more comments, since people often make a mental note to check out and comment on their gifts.

So for me, at least, it's not about the comments. It's about not rewarding shitty behavior. Not thanking your author with at least the bare minimum, or thanking some of your authors but not others, is shitty behavior that has a very good chance of making your assigned authors, who have to write for you, feel crappy. Any sensible person doing exchanges should know this. So no, I'm not rewarding people who do that with extra treats.
