But truthfully, I don't always comment about their comment, because sometimes I have nothing to say about it, or it is just so short and sweet as to not require a reply. Or, if I am just going to say "yeah, you're right", it seems pointless even putting anything. If they get offended by that, then that is their choice - I am not going to modify my behaviour on my blog to fit in with what I imagine some people may like me to be, so I just comment if something they say inspires me to do so, otherwise I don't.

I used to reply by email when I first moved to WP cause I was so excited that I could... now I wonder if it is better to comment on a comment.. and I am so confused I often don't do anything at all... bad me! <strong>Kate: Replying by email seems to take more effort, and as I am extraordinarily lazy? It just isn't going to happen :) S</strong> Oh I am struggling with this big bloggy question myself at the moment… do I reply in the comments or do I reply via email!

It is great to get some interacting between everyone and builds a little community I think. I actually prefer it to direct emailing cause then everyone gets to respond to the responses. If that makes ANY sense! <strong>Kelley: Yeah, I agree with the first bit re: the community thing. And yes, everyone else gets to see everyones else's individual responses, which can be amusing in itself. Well, hopefully, anyway. Of course MY responses are hysterically amusing.

Sometimes I'll leave it lying and come back a day later or so... just in case someone else has commented before hand. That makes it look like I'm not answering everybody all the time but have other things to do as well! :) <strong>Mr V: See that's where we differ.

Well you are half right anyway. I think the interplay between blog writer and commenter is the best part of a blog. That is why I choose to comment on the comment section. Although a nice e-mail acknowleging my comment is appreciated. Especially if it is accompanied by a nude pic of the commenter if they are female or their wife or girlfriend if they are a male. <strong>Evyl: Maybe I should have said awesomely disgusting. And yeah about that nude pic, it's in the mail, OK? Patience is a virtue, or some crap like that... S</strong> Me disgustingly awesome? Well you are half right anyway.
