		<description>Frank, Thanks for coming to the party... and for not just sitting in a corner! I really like that analogy! I think that when someone (like Danny) is able to create the right environment, a blog really does become a party of sorts and conversation happens as naturally as it would around a punch bowl .. or Keg ;)</description>

		<description>Nothing wrong with using the net to research a topic.. but when I go to a blog, I&#039;m expecting to have a conversation. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When it&#039;s not allowed, or the silly default account login on some blog systems, I have to wonder what the blogger expects... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In this age where everyone has the ability to spread and amplify your good message, why would anyone try for a centralized control in dispensing information?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; :)</description>

		<description>I comment because it&#039;s the right thing to do in this space - in my opinion. If this is truly a social space and we are all trying to be social people then NOT leaving comments would be like going to a party and not talking to anyone. We wouldn&#039;t do that would we?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/franswaa&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://twitter.com/franswaa&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>That&#039;s an interesting point, Warren. I guess you could spin it around a little and take it from another approach. I&#039;ve read blogs that I would have loved to have commented on, but then it&#039;s a closed comments system that&#039;s in place, or you have to register to comment (neither of which I&#039;m a fan off).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you&#039;re a reader and that frustrates, maybe it&#039;s reason to be more grateful where there is an open comment policy, and share your thoughts where they&#039;re appreciated?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for stopping by and sharing your views, Warren, appreciated.</description>

		<description>I say that if you have time to read a post, you have time to comment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Granted, there are post that aren&#039;t worth commenting.. and their are some that I just come up blank on... but my advise is an answer to authors and bloggers I consult who think they don&#039;t have time to comment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are in an attention economy.. when you pay attention, you are giving value to the post. A comment let&#039;s the blogger and others know you cared enough to read the post and then think for more than a second on it&#039;s content. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;NO RULES is usually my policy. Comment or not, it&#039;s up to you... but if it&#039;s a time commitment you are worried about, maybe you can read a few less to comment more.</description>
