The comments have encouraged and educated my readers and me. I invite you to read the comments and add your own. You’ll find the conversation much more interesting and informative than just reading the posts. While I appreciate every comment, I prefer to respond to “John, the Philadelphia Lawyer” rather than to “Philadelphia Lawyer” or to “Susie Smith, Beauty Consultant” rather than to “Chicago Beauty.” Replying to “Best Cooking School” just doesn’t feel like I’m talking to a real person. I will reply, but I won’t address you by “name” when your “name” is a keyword phrase. As the About page says, first time commenters are moderated. Once a comment has been approved, future comments are not moderated as long as you use the same e-mail address and name. (Added 7/13/08: Also you must use the same URL; if you linked to your homepage on one comment and to a specific post on another, the second comment will be moderated.) I use moderation to try to avoid spam. Akismet has caught more than 78,000 spam comments, but several questionable comments appear in the moderation queue every day. If the comment relates in any way to the post, I approve it. If the comment is so generic that it looks like spam (”Nice post. Thanks.”), I delete it rather than mark it spam so if it’s a legimate comment, the person’s next comment will appear in moderation rather than go to spam. Of course, if it’s porn or other obvious spam, I mark it spam. I do NOT review all the comments in spam before deleting them. If you’ve left a comment and it didn’t appear, comment again or e-mail me. If you’re a real person leaving a real comment, I want to be sure your comment is posted. I hope this list is accurate, but there is lots of room for errors in gathering this information and transferring it to a post. Please let me know about any errors or omissions. Now … thanks to all commenters, especially to those who left many comments.

Oh, thank you! I’d like to thank all the little people who made this grand moment possible.
Do I get a trophy? I’ll put it on my mantle!
Renae,
I’ll have to come up with a trophy or something to show my appreciation.
Thank you, Lillie!

Blogging Tipss last blog post..Contest Roundup: July 13th
You’re welcome. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Lillie,
Thanks for the mention and the link! I always enjoy your informative posts and only wish I could have commented even more than I did!
Jeanne
Jeanne,
Glad to see that you’re commenting more recently … hope that means your workload is manageable and you’re still making as much money as you were when you were so overloaded.
Thanks for the link. I have been reading your blog regularly, but, probably commented only once. Glad to see that you have not forget this silent reader.
Asia’h Eppersons last blog post..Google SERPs Update
Asia’h,
I certainly appreciate the silent reader. I know how many blogs I read that I seldom comment on.
I’d thank each reader by name if I knew them, but they have to come out of lurkdom and make a comment for me to know who they are. Even one comment is welcome and appreciated.
thanks for the shoutout!
i REALLY like what you said about your comment practices. i agree with you on every single point.
and i really need to do my comment thank-yous, too, so thanks for reminding me!
isabella,
Deciding whether a comment is legitimate or spam can sometimes be a challenge, but I do like to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.
Hi Lillie - Thank you. It must have taken you ages to link to us all.
I also hate responding to the keyword people. It’s not so bad if they put there real names at the bottom of the message, otherwise it’s hard to address them politely without feeling foolish.
Cath Lawsons last blog post..Toxic Relationships - Does Blood Matter?
Cath,
The first time I wrote a post to thank commenters, I did it for the whole year … and I had to create it by going through comments in the WordPress dashboard. That did take forever. Now, I record the comments in a spreadsheet as I reply to them, then copy and paste into the quarterly post.
Hi Lillie! Thanks so much for mentioning me in this awesome list! Although bloglines has turned me into a lazy commentator, I’m trying my best to get back and more frequent commenting
Alina Popescus last blog post..Social Media Love Comes With Great Content. Really?
Alina,
I understand … and besides using a reader, if you’re like me, just the sheer number of blogs we read makes it difficult to comment as much as we’d like.
