Can anyone tell me how this works? If someone comments on your blog, is that implicitly an invitation to go comment on their blog? And if you go over, and you read some stuff, and it's cool - should you only comment once? And that completes the dance?
I don't know. Most of the people who mention to me something that they read on here, don't really seem to comment. I'm like "don't you want to comment?" They're like, "not really." I guess they just read. Anyway, praise from strangers rings truer than the kind indulgence of friends, in the starving heart of the cynical artist. Not that most of my comments are literally what you might call "praise"! And you will note, that I do not specifically identify myself as the aforesaid cynical artist. In fact, I admit that I personally tend to take all comments as praise. Even the insulting ones. It's nice that they they took the effort!
Or would that be, "it's nice that they made the chance!"? Nice that they took the...opportunity? Took the...I'm not really feeling "made the effort" for some reason. I mean, I know it's right, but the sense isn't what I'm after.
So. Anyway. Moving on in my conversational style: "From time to time, people I don't already know will comment on my blog, and I'll go over and read some of theirs, and like I'm saying above, what is the expected etiquette? A lot of the time I'll read and enjoy immensely, but not have anything particular to say in response. So in that case, I don't comment. I wonder if that's considered a slight?
Conversely, I may see two or three posts of theirs that spring potential comments to my mind. And I want to know, if somebody posts one innocent comment on my blog, and then suddenly within weeks I'm over there posting three comments on their blog like a maniac...is that going to cause them a little consternation? Am I coming off like some kind of blog-stalker? I always worry about that. It hinders my free and expressive nature.
I'd like to point out for the record that on my blog, ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOME. I mean all comments made by an actual human and not by some advertising auto-posting e-thug are welcome. I will only delete your comment if it's clearly some kind of form letter blog-for-money come-on, and most of those post within seconds of when I update anyhow.
So like I'm saying, that's where I stand, but I'm not sure about the community at large. There may be some etiquette out there I need to keep being wary of. We'll see how it works out."

Otherwise, you'd only see it if you checked your back posts.
I always toy with the idea of doing that pre-approval thing, but it's kind of sad for the commenter to not see the comment pop up all happy and fast.
Isn't it?
But, I couldn't think of anything relevant to say about it, so I thought, I'll let that one stew a bit.
The compilation that song is on was a staple of mine as soon as it came out. Damn good stuff.
