There's a lot of "meat" here to consider with regard to leaving comments. The posts that do have 50+ comments are sometimes hard to reply to, but if the post has moved me, I may comment anyway, even if it's redundant - more as showing support for the author and their great post. Plus, I don't always have time to read each and every comment. Following a lot of blogs does make it difficult to comment on each new post. Like you, I will eventually pop in and drop a comment. Hi Wendi,

I’m very pleases with how this post developed into such a great discussion/conversation. There’s a lot of “meat” here to consider with regard to leaving comments.

I once had a commenter send me an e-mail apologizing for leaving a long comment and I e-mailed right back thanking her for her long comment and asking her to write away when ever she felt inspired! I want conversation, not just comments! I leave comments when I feel I can join in the conversation, or if I can let the writer know what I enjoyed about the post. I agree that if it is too hard to get through the process of leaving a comment, or if there are already 50 comments and it seems that all has been said, I don't feel a need to be redundant just to leave my mark. That being said, If I am a subscriber and I haven't left a comment every few days, then I will leave one to let the writer know, yep, still here, still reading, still enjoying, just haven't had time to comment lately or something to contribute. I read over 30 blogs and I can't daily contribute to each, but I like to participate in all regularly.

Without comments or feedback, it's hard to keep going as a blogger so I try to pump up my favorite bloggers with comments so they know their work is appreciated.

Yes, commenting does show tremendous support to bloggers, and for new bloggers, comments can make their day. I think the power of comments is often underestimated. Hi Sara,
