		<description>Commenting on a blog post about comments... Seems odd. I think many people comment on blogs for many reasons i just wish the spammers would at least make a little more effort these days. is it just me or does it seem that comment spam is just links these days and no effort at all to join in any conversation? So yes i am commenting, but mostly because i have something to say. Then again i always do.</description>

		<description>I see comments as a sort of conversation.  I&#039;ve just read the article and I want to talk to someone about it and who knows more about the article than its writer?</description>

		<description>I write for myself: to express my opinion, to interact with others, to let others know that I exist

I write for the author: to let him know that his post is appreciated / disagreed upon , to make his blog more alive (i.e. there are real people who are actually reading his blog)</description>
