At first my hubby thought that moderating comments would make people think that I wouldn't share the comments of people who disagree with me as well as the positive but I only delete the spammers. I think the ones that don't agree are just as important as the ones that do agree.

It made me think about the blogs that I post and the ones that I read. I follow many blogs to help me think about things, but I don't always comment.

Sometimes they cause me to delve deeper into whatever I posted about. Sometimes they even inspire another post.<br /><br />Good comments, if detailed, also validate that I've written something that was truly read.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-48302988037923652452010-12-27T10:08:59.336-05:002010-12-27T10:08:59.336-05:00It's far from selfish to delete link insertion...It's far from selfish to delete link insertion spam; the vast majority are not true comments at all but the result of automated bots that attempt to insert the same comment/link in as many sites as possible.<br /><br />I am relentless in deleting fishy comments.

I love to comment, but only if I have something to add.<br /><br />I read somewhere that you have maybe over 90% "lurkers" and only a few people who will comment.
