Thanks for Your Comments
April 7, 2008 by Lillie
In January, I thanked commenters for the entire year of 2007 at once. I decided I wouldn’t wait that long again – creating that list took a lot more time and effort than I anticipated. In January, I started keeping track of comments as I replied to them, so this list for the first quarter of 2008 was much easier to compile.
Thank you to the 172 commenters for 300+ comments that created wonderful conversations. I have learned so much from you and have been so inspired and encouraged by your words and presence.
I appreciate every comment – and every reader who doesn’t comment, but I want to recognize a few of the most active participants in the community here.

Thanks and apologies for any oversights or errors. I look forward to your future comments.
My goodness Lillie that’s a lot of comments! It’s very generous to thank us all.
Joanna
PS Jeanne is a commenting superstar isn’t she?
Thank you, Lillie! You are so kind to give back to us this way. I enjoy reading all of your posts.
This is a lovely way of thanking your commenters… and thank you to you too, for such an informative blog.
Joanna,
I’m glad to thank all my commenters and delighted there are so many.
Yvonne,
Thank you. I feel like I haven’t produced my lately but hopefully I’ll get caught up and have some time to post more.
Thanks for thanking, Lillie. This is a lesson for every blogger that appreciates their readers who are bloggers as well
thanks for the mention
Jacob,
My commenters are very important, and I appreciate them very much.
Matthew,
Thanks for commenting.
This must be one of the longest thanks comment post I have come across. Nice gesture from you.
Hope my name will come next time
This is my first visit to this blog. Great job Lillie
Schufafrei,
You will, of course, be listed next time I thank commenters.
I’m glad you found my blog and hope you come back often – or subscribe so you don’t miss anything.
What a great way to put it! I may have to quote you on that sometime . . .
Feel free to use that line, Renae.
Wow, you thank people for commenting. I too am glad I found your blog, hopefully I can supply enough content to reward thanks.
Gus,
Comments make blogging a conversation, which I love.
Lillie,
What a surprise to finally come up for air after completing one of my writing projects and learn that I’m your top comment contributor for the first quarter of 2008! That is amazing, because I’ve really felt as if I’ve been neglecting all my favorite blogs lately due to being so incredibly busy! Knowing that is really encouraging. (Glad we kept that long comment thread going recently. I’m sure that helped!)
I think it’s a great idea that you’ve decided to recognize your commenters quarterly! It will save you so much work at the end of the year! (You have so many commenters!)
Always happy to visit and comment here! Your blog is very special–as are you!
Blessings,
Jeanne
Jeanne,
Thank you for being such an important part of this blog. I enjoyed our long conversation – and all your comments.
Hey Lillie,
Thanks for the link. You have a wonderful blog with a wealth of information.
I like the way you listed your commenters.
Cheers,
Steve
Steve,

i recall now that i was going to follow your footsteps – so thanks for the reminder! i hope to have my post up by the end of the month.
Isabella,

Renae,
Discovering blogging is a conversation rather than a monologue surprised me, and I’m glad to thank those who participate.
Thanks, Asia’h. I’m blessed to have a lot of commenters.
