I do that a lot too because I think it's a short and sweet way to say to the poster I saw the picture/post, enjoyed it and thanks for posting it.

When I post I appreciate acknowledgement that it was seen and am happy with just "aww". I know the number of views shows it was seen but a reply, even brief, means more to me. I guess it just tells me it my post wasn't "pointless".

I do agree that there seems to be a lot of new threads started that may be geared for raising post counts and that can get annoying. Usually I notice who those posters are and I get to the point I never open anything they post. Ashame because at some point they might post something interesting and I'll miss it.
