The irresistible force behind it is that the writer keeps on replying to my every comment. Oh boy, this dude has time for me. My views matter to him. We've become friends eventually. He was instrumental in making me blog myself. And guess what. That's the first lesson I learned from him - to value every comment left on my blog by readers. It's a time-suck sure. But I enjoy every minute of it. If this gets unmanageable I just hope I will have by then created a culture wherein other readers will take the initiative to talk among themselves when I'd not be available.

That would be like me not working on my own procrastination issues... @Melanie Sometimes it's a real challenge to stay on top of them all, eh? But as I'm discovering, answering every comment creates more comments, which is great for the blog. @WereBear Another great feature in the WordPress 2.7 update, eh? It certainly makes sure you know which comments you've replied to. <abbr><em>Alex Fayle | Someday Syndrome´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SomedaySyndrome/~3/5z2cW9904HI/" rel="nofollow">Get out of that hole: Someday-busting lessons from Take That</a></em></abbr> @Kelly
