And rather than giving off the vibe you suggest, I prefer to think of it as showing my readers that I care about their opinions enough to respond to them. Neither I nor Tami (nor, it seems, you) get so overwhelmed with pages (the default WP comment "page" is 50 comments) that we can't take a few minutes to respond individually to the ones we do get. To me, it sends the message that my blog is not simply about putting <i>my</i> thoughts out there, but to share those thoughts in at least a 2-way venue. .-= Steve´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/KestrelsAerie/~3/b9wPZwColkQ/" rel="nofollow">Recommended Reading: November 2 – 8</a> =-. @Professor Beej:
