		<description>This is a grate artcle Deborah. I&#039;m really appreciate ur thoughtful contribution to this isue.

:}

Sometimes I just comment to make the blogger laugh. It&#039;s anti-trolling. Not troll hunting (which I just have to do every now and then), but adding a little something to the other side of the karmic scale.</description>

		<description>Yeah, the only downside for your faithful readers would be if some of them had limted computer access as opposed to the ones who could check your feed often to read your posts and get their comments in quickly.   But, at least if you got really overwhelmed by comments and you had stated your 100 comments (or how many ever,) policy up front they&#039;d hopefully realize you were trying your best and are just one person with the same 24 hours a day we all have. 

Pesonally, now that my initial rush of &quot;Wow, I&#039;ve finanlly got a blog with comments and I&#039;m actually getting comments&quot;  is over, I think a great plan for me at this stage is to publish 3 posts a week and a Saturday or Sunday mini bonus.  I notice you generally follow along those lines.

Yes, I blogged for 2 years w/o comments (Really.  Don&#039;t even ask, long story.  I imagine I&#039;ll post on it someday.)  So I feel confident your suggested 2 months w/o comments for newbies recommendation has been more than amply met by me!</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s another thought - a blogger could make their policy &quot; I will respond to the first 50 comments each post,&quot; or 60 or 100, or 40 whatever they think they can handle.  I dunno.  What do you think?

P.S. Great post.</description>
