You're all very welcome. I love this stuff. Actually it's funny, looking back on CK's why do you blog question, I don't know if I'd be so quick to answer "an excuse."
The people I meet and conversations I have as a result of this place are extraordinary. The three of you are a testament to that. Thanks.

There are some terrifically helpful and intelligent and relevant blogs I visit...that never participate in Reciprocal Commenting, never reply to my emails, and never acknowledge the contributions of commentors (co-mentor, get it? I don't.)
Ah, the narcissism of some folks. All take and no give.
A comment is generally this--FREE valuable content or even corrections, for your blog.
No such thing as "my" blog. Every [good, successful] blog is a team effort, even when it's got only one Webmaster/Author. I often preach that if a person only reads my posts, and does not read the comments, they're only getting about 1/10 of the story.
God bless our loyal lurkers. They promote our ideas offline or in other forums. They add traffic numbers. They derive benefit from our team work silently, shyly, secretly even.
But how vital the comment posters are. If my blog never got any comments, I think I'd go crazy. "Does no one have an opinion, a complaint, a critique, a question about what I wrote?"
I vastly prefer substantiations and harsh attacks to mindless, flattery or knee-jerk agreement.
Noah, you are very wise to thank your FREE content contributors, and don't forget to thank those silent, shy, too busy, inarticulate lurkers too. They do more than we realize!

I'd like to point out to one and all the sheer genius of Noah's web design. I have never seen Posts and Comments on a level playing field before. The Posts and the Comments are side by side, equal, like a democracy, that much hated inevitability of the universe.
