@Joely – Comments and trackbacks (posts in reply to their posts, my original motivation for this thought) are definitely not the sole marker for a posts value, and again I can not know what others get out of my posts, but my thoughts here were more that I fear I spend too much time reading blogs that I find interesting. I’m not about to say no to reading a varied group of blogs, but I wonder if there is a point of diminishing returns (almost certainly) and whether I have passed it (I suspect so).

Having spent a long time writing online, I know that some people find me intimidating, other people don’t know what to say, and anyway, I write each post for me to process. You’re being invited into my head and my heart, rather than me starting a conversation.

On top of that, I very often read things to which I don’t respond. I’m glad I read it, but I might not have anything to say about it. Very often things require more than a response offered in just a moment of time.

That’s my take.
