I comment so often that I often forget to go back to some posts to see if the author has responded. There are mixed opinions on how important it is for bloggers to reply to comments, but your feedback is valuable to me as a blogger, so thanks!Ashley Ashbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268928207063175136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169897411582842424.post-33815743033929784562011-08-30T01:43:22.097-04:002011-08-30T01:43:22.097-04:00Hi,

I don't mind commenting though I have to crack captchas, I don't mind commenting even if I have to register for Disqus.<br /><br />But, I hate commenting on sites that the bloggers don't respond to my comments.

I run two blogs, in addition to having posts on other sites. It sometimes can be tricky to keep up with everything. <br /><br />I actually stopped moderating comments on both blogs awhile back - except for comments on older posts for one of Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920234350446745482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169897411582842424.post-67327383613591353792011-08-16T23:33:20.104-04:002011-08-16T23:33:20.104-04:00Mythopolis - And that study could also look at how...Mythopolis - And that study could also look at how traffic changed as the blog changed<br /><br />Mary - How lovely to see you!

I disagree that it's arrogant; I think it depends on the nature of the commenting. Sometimes discussions arise. Sometimes you just want to know how the other person reacts to all the thought you put in.<br /><br />Mythopolis - Interesting simplicity. Just delete!

I've just been so busy. :) I do still enjoy reading your blog though.<br /><br />I don't like captchas because sometimes they're hard to read and they're generally just a pain. I don't mind moderation though. The main reason I put comment moderation on my blogs is not to censor, but to make Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169897411582842424.post-42174094332143275592011-08-08T18:59:53.395-04:002011-08-08T18:59:53.395-04:00I am actually comment "shy."

In a few instances I've been able to do some creative collaborations ( interactive writing, or even visual work on paper exchanged by snail mail.)<br /><br />Some have moderation, and it doesn't really bother me.
