It's not that I fully subscribe to that view point, but when feedbackers get ornary when it can take me a long time to get back to them... it feels... off putting.

As I said, sometimes I can't even LOOK at anything even relating to the story after I post it.

And yeah, if there's a question or a comment that I feel I can really turn into a conversation it's always easier, but for me... responding to feedback takes a lot of... energy. And it shouldn't be interpreted as a bad thing, it's just the sort of activity that tires my brain. And I know that a blanket thank you peeves off other people too. So I feel this guilt/obligation cycle that I shouldn't feel because I do appreciate all the feedback I get.

But again... I wrote my story because it wouldn't let me NOT write it. But to put the burden on me to continue any and all correspondance just makes me irrationally frustrated, because yeah, I appreciate even than "wow" one word bits too. And then I feel guilty about feeling frustrated... etc.
