Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I once read that the best way to reply is by simply saying thank you.

It really is. Something like:

"Thank you! I've been working on [thing] for a long time."

Or

"Thank you! I read about this make up style on [site]."

Thank them, maybe add some background info, be jovial and appreciative, then you can just move on.
