It doesn’t feel so great (actually, it feels like a waste of time) when you leave a reasonable comment and it never appears!

What did you mean?

I also like to see my comments appearing on other people's blogs. :) I think it is great that you are inviting people to comment, and that you are getting such a great response.

Just wanted to say that you have a nice site, and I use your theme+style with pleasure (I guess, there was some pingback from one of my posts about it recently). Well.. It seems that I'm one of such lurkers :( Hello, John.

Whether or not a blog gets a lot of comments depends also on the nature of the content. I find, for example, that I get a fair number of Google hits because I've collected quite a bit of information related to my blog subject - guitar ergonomics. The blog is becoming something of a repository, I suppose. However, like John, I enjoy interaction. I get a sense of what readers are interested in and learn some things in the process - all of which helps to feed new ideas for the blog. It sounds like a solid idea.

I comment only when there's something that interests me and I wish to express an opinion. But I am curious and keen about the power of the Net, the use of computers, their effectiveness as media, and their rapid developments that have both the abilities to transform and destroy. Let's say my interests are rather more objective than subjective. I am of a generation in India which saw b/w TV for the first time when we were in our teens. Most of us tend to be computer-unfriendly, yet cannot deny the real significance of IT in our lives today. Am I a lurker too? :) But thanks for sharing! What about guys like me, John?
