I read, when you have said something that has aroused my muse, I comment. I don't get to you every day, but I do get to you often. So many blogs, so little time.

Jep, it's really difficult to find something you can write in the comments that isn't stupid or was said before. But I will try to comment more on your wonderful blog because I can understand that it is frustrating if there are many readers but little feedback…

I think that finding anything to comment as witty as the original post is sometimes a problem ) How can I be as funny as you Dave? More seriously I most of the times find it difficult to add to the debate as most of your post are always pretty complete. This is also one of the reasons why I am not a blogger: I wouldn;t be able to find anything interesting to say without necessarily reaping it off somebody else…

I have two comments. ____1] The types of sites that I observe that recieve many comments, mostly receive many comments from the same people, over and over. They respond to one another in redundant agreement, heated disagreement, or humorous reaction. I mostly don't bother to read either of the first two sets of comments. There really is nothing to be gleaned, as there is no middle ground between (for example), limiting government or growing government. I have an additional perspective that won't fit into the comment box; I'll email it.

Agreeing with me is not a prerequisite for having your comments published on here. Making your points in an intelligent and civil manner is. That has pretty much precluded your comments.

Well, restricting acceptable commentators to the like-minded does signifcantly impact on the numbers.

I disagree, Akiva. You can't tell me LGF articles invite any more comments (although they each get 100s or 1000s).

You're blog allows comments? Cool, I'd never noticed The vast majority of your articles aren't conversational. Like a comic on stage, the mockery is excellent but doesn't invite chatting on the topic.
