Comment on Comments

It's well known that commenting on blogs brings readers to your own site, but there are better reasons to comment. One of the things I most enjoy about blogging is the conservation and accountability. I know that I can take chances with ideas, trusting that if I'm off base my readers will kindly correct me. I intentionally do not pre-moderate any comments in order to keep the discussion in real-time. For my regular commenters thank you. For all you lurkers out there, let me assure you that all bloggers love comments. Whether positive or negative, whether I know you, I don't know or I used to know you, your thoughts are appreciated. I will as honor the conversation by not deleting comments, unless they are unusually obscene, cruel, or spam. In my whole history, I have only deleted one comment, and that was more to protect personal privacy. I will also vow to respond to all comments if called for. Finally, just a friendly reminder, all comments within this blog are the responsibility of the commenter, not the blog author. Look forward to hearing from you, yeah you.
