Plus plus! I'm joyful when I get the email that lets me know that a guest has left kudos, because it says, "Hey, someone's reading your HP fic from forever ago!" or "Hey, someone giggled at the SG:A John with tentacles and Rodney being inappropriate" fic or whichever.

I have a little happy chair dance just for that.

Especially if I've not posted anything recently; it's a no-obligation (on anyone's part) reminder that a year ago I wrote something funny, and it's still considered by someone as being worth reading.
