Yet you may have wondered why I rarely comment in response
to your comments on my blog.
I have 3 very good reasons for this:
1. If I comment on every comment on my posts,
it takes up time I want to spend commenting on your posts!
I’d rather pop over to your house for a bit than to stay in my house and say, “Thanks for coming over!”
2. I’d like to see an accurate assessment of the comments on each of my posts. If I log on and it says, “20 comments,” I know 20 people stopped by,
not 10 people and 10 me’s making comments back.
3. I hardly ever go back to see what someone said in response to a comment
I left on their blog, so I figure If you are like me, you will never see
the comments I make in response to your comments.
My two exceptions are:
If you ask me a question, I will leave a comment to answer it; and
If you say something outrageously wise or funny, I will comment on it.
Do you comment on your comments? Do you go back to blogs where you’ve commented, and see if there’s a response?
