I know you from your avatar, so however you sign in, that's how I answer. :) Sending an email to commenters we missed answering is a great idea. It helps to build community. ***smiles***. I'm happy you came back. This is an interesting thread, isn't it? Thank you for your kind words. The community here is awesome, and....you're a part of it. :) Hi Mike, I agree, it is nice to have our comments recognized. It shows the blog author is appreciative of the time we took to read and comment. Hi Jodith,

I've been busy and..., well I don't need to explain, nor do I need an excuse. It's just the way it is. What I do is flag the comment in my email to save it until I get a chance to reply. Even then, I might not reply because things have moved on where it doesn't seem to be needed. That's rare. Generally, I try to reply even when it's late. If I write several comments on a blog and never get a reply, it doesn't bother me much other than a tiny bit of disappointment. I don't expect a reply to every comment, but some acknowledgement is nice. However, I WILL likely remove that blog from my feed reader.

It's all I can do to keep up with posting and answering the few comments I do get. Someone was asking about what you do when you miss a comment. If I found I missed replying to a comment, I actually will e-mail the person concerned to apologize for missing them and thanking them for their comment. Alas, I know everyone isn't as unconcerned as I am about people replying to their comments. BTW, I'm Maritzia. I have several blogs, and the identity I use for commenting varies depending on the blog on which I'm commenting. I got confused and used my alter ego instead of my true identity when I replied earlier. And yes, this thread was interesting enough to me that I came back and read it *laughs*. Actually, your's is one of the few blogs I do that on, Barbara, because the people that comment here tend to be as interesting as you are. I don't even try to read the comments on ProBlogger, because there's just too many.

Anyway, just to comment on Florida. Since that election I have moved to Florida (I have been here 2 years now). These people here aren't the sharpest tools in the shed so I'm thinking they had alot to do with it. Many people have been to Disney, but if you want a real laugh just drive North, West, East or South for 20 minutes and look around. Wow, this is a pretty active blog.
