Oh, I wasn't fishing for an upvote.

Resteems are of more value anyway because it means your post gets to a wider audience than if it just sat in "New" or in your stream.

Commenting is an import part of Steemit, your interactions (Comments) count towards your Rep score which in turn counts towards your curation. Steemit is all about shaking the apple tree, the harder you shake it the more apples you'll get. :-)
