You’re very welcome to them. =)

Same here. We all need to work on it a little. Mari lurks too. Mari has a blogroll of about 100 blogs that no one knows Mari is a fan of.

Mari knows there are younger writers that aren't the aforementioned MORONS and can write to entertain an older audience. Plus, sometimes a little advice in a comment goes a long way. It bugs Mari to see so-so comments on good blogs. It's like the commenter doesn't care that they look like a lazy, stupid person who's just doing it because they want a link or have to. @Maria

Glad you like my links page : ) I agree totally to all the above, but I fear that will make me a bit of a hypocrit e as I'm not so good at returning comments when I receieve them! In order to write a comment I'll have to have something to say, and more often than not I really don't (hence, I end up lurking around on peoples sites..) Sorry for the so-so comment :D Thank you for the lovely comments. Glad you like my links page : )

Sometimes... when I go to return, their posts just aren't interesting. Which is one reason I'm really advocating the whole age-group thing on Despair because I can't handle reading tween/teen shit anymore. Yeah, sometimes I've been known to leave so-so comments, but only because it doesn't provoke anything profound in my head to respond to, you know? Sometimes it's just... bleh. Yeah, sometimes to get those so-so comments on my posts are quite annoying since my posts have not revolved around anything trivial in a while and actually does require some thought. That bugs me. Seriously people, is it that hard to make a decent comment about such a life issue? Yeah, those un-comment-ables are a pain in the ass. "I'm so busy I can't make a post... except for this one. kthnxbye." And other times, there's just nothing you really want to say and once in a while, once in a long while, you come across one where you have nothing NICE to say.

It's a good idea if you already respond to comments. Mari gets those Despair commenters too. It's...annoying to say the least, and Mari really doesn't like trying to return those comments or respond to them on her site. Mari's recently started being selective about responding to comments. Mari too. Honestly, Mari's been trying to all year. Mari successfully did for February and March, but after that... Neither does Mari. Honestly, one for one, make the comment as good as the post. If someone writes a seven page philosophical essay, give them a worthy comment. If someone can't bother to post something good, you should not be expected to pull a good comment out of some orifice... @Kaisa

I rarely even respond to them, because I just can't be bothered. I mean, if the people who leave those comments cannot be bothered to actually read my blog and respond to it, I doubt they'd be bothered to read my response to their comment. The only so-so comment I remember responding to was from some guy, assigned to me from Despair, and his comment was a complete mess, to be honest. It was full of some weird code that made my site die and excessive net speak. And by excessive I mean the super-über-cannot-understand-anything-at-all kind of excessive :/ I suck at returning comments, I really do. I mean, I do plan on returning all the comments I've received, but I'm just really slow. I have probably ten posts worth of comments waiting to be returned :/ And I'm not much better at responding to comments either. I try, but sometimes forget. Ah, the un-comment-ables! Depending on the topic of the 'blog entry', I usually just say something like "Well, good for you" or "Have fun" or something as lame as that. I don't necessarily think it's mean to leave a lame response to a lame post :D Meh, so-so comments are rather annoying, but I’d never delete them (I’ve actually never deleted any comments :O ).
