I imagine there are some who will not comment 'til they first have had a chance to check what's being written. I will intentionally avoid reading critiques prior to writing and sending mine. Gives me a the tiniest (probably false) sense of integrity. :) In my case, a very rare thing.
Jack ============ I usually comment without looking at others' comments beforehand. I only look at others' comments first about 1/3 (or less) of the time. It is usually when I don't know what to say or quite how I feel about the photo. So I look at other's comments in order to quote someone else or see if they have zeroed in what bothered me or, on the other hand, what sold me on the photo, when I was vague about it. But on the whole I feel that my reactions, without looking at others' comments first, are truer.
