"Real" comments that bounce off the post and add something new take time and energy we often aren't willing to spend, especially in someone else's space...so if a post really grabs us, we'll blog it instead. Of course then subsequent readers of the post don't get to participate unless the trackback works properly and they think to follow one...

Some of their replies were very specific to the context of that particular blog. However, many of the comments seemed relevant to almost any blog. Your 178 comments should stand you in good stead, though: one point that the conversation highlighted was that readers feel most confortable to comment when the author actively engages with readers, especially where they build up a relationship over time.

Actually, I think I was browsing your blog just yesterday, and I regret not leaving a comment! But I am guessing James has all 10 of his hands full with the latest rounds of spam attacks- they ahve gotten much more cunning and are exploiting WordPress's moderation rules. Since I run my own version, I clamped down hard on the barriers, but it is an ongoing fight that chews up your time. I hope it clears soon for you! I feel your pain, Graham.
