The low response thing on the board is always a problem. I think it's partly a "populatity" thinh and a "seniority" thing. It takes a while to get established.
I try to do mostly low responses and zeros, but haven't had time too be there much lately. Best I remember , Carls lyrics are pretty good. Some lyrics are "Not so great". I think they'd benefit by studying the high responses and see "why" they get so many. There's several quite good writers on the board. Also,if they're "serious" , read a rule book or two. Some lyrics, I can hardly tell what the various "pieces" are supposed to be. We've all got to start somewhere.
Yeah, critique requested or please critique or I need help, seems to increase reponses.
Also, be sure to respond to the critiqes you "do" get.
