I didn't do the poll cuz none of the choices really fit for me, but I sure have noticed how many good pieces here go uncommented on. So. I asked myself, "Me? Why don't you comment more often on diaries here?" and got nuthing back but a dumb stare. I really don't know why I don't! But I am going to try to change that..because if we don't support each other by commenting and getting discussions going, who else is going to find it interesting enough to participate?

Sometimes I wonder though about the "too many good blogs" factor. My favorite blog list is literally bulging at the seams. No way are there enough hours in the day to follow discussions and participate everywhere I want to and still exist in three dimensional life too.

Mayve it'd be good to discuss again..(at this point in time)..how much committment we all share, in growing this one? And how we see this evolving from here?

I'm in the middle of a couple of busy weeks...

... I've been criticized for blogging too much from work, so I have to wait until I get home

... my little brother just got married, so my weekend was spent preparing for or attending his wedding

... my best friend gets married this next weekend, and I'm spending a large part of this week helping her stay sane

And there's been enough content turnover in the midst of all of this that I keep thinking "Oh, I"ll come back and comment on that when I have more than just a couple of minutes" ... and then I lose track of the post or it scrolls away before I get back to it or I just forget what I was going to say.

I'll be back when life calms down a bit, and really try to comment... I know how disappointing it is to only get a couple of comments to what you thought was a pretty good post....

I don't comment much at *any* blog, though I have posted a handful comments here. That being said... a lot of the posts here are very short and informational. They speak for themselves.

I've noticed when it comes to commenting there are two types of posts that end up with the most discussion... Ones that are controversial, and on the edge of just plain disagreeable... and lame memes.

I dunno.

But... I'd say that a lot of people are reading, even without commenting.

I haven't commented because I added this feed at a time when I added many others, so I was a bit overwhelmed. Then, I would get somewhat motivated to comment; then see that I had to register to comment. Registration seemed like a bit too much bother to just add my .02. Registration was added to my to-do when I have more time list. Of course, now, obviously I have registered. I have to say I am glad I did because there is value in registering outside of just being able to comment. On top of that...it was a quick and PAINLESS registration. I didn't need to tattoo my first born with your logo or anything.
