Sorry Mitch, but I’m still going to delete useless comments. I figure I took the time to work on the post the least they can do is spend a little bit of thought on the comment.

Well, I'll admit that I don't delete any posts like that, mainly because I believe it doesn't do the poster any good posting something inane, but it may show others that people are visiting my site. After all, I figure I'm in the game to try to increase posters, and therefore I don't want to alienate anyone who's not being abusive, even if their post is somewhat useless to them in the long run.

Way to go BD. I’m pushing 50 myself this year and I’ve notice my tolerance for slack behavior is certainly on the decline.

Yup … if someone leaves a junk comment at night, they shouldn’t expect to find it in the morning.

I moderate the first comment.

If someone has something reasonably relevant to say and can do so politely I am only too happy to let them have their say … and they are welcome back with even less supervision in the future.

But if all someone is doing is scraping technorati tags and leaving a ‘great post bow-wow yadda yadda’ comment, I’m entirely willing to delete their comment without a second thought. If they keep that sort of commenting up, I am just as ready to block their IP address completely. I’m 56 years old. I’ve gotten to the point in my life where I just don’t care what people think of me anymore. Certainly not enough to tolerate intolerable behavior out of them.

I am not so desperate for a hit or a ‘unique’ that I am willing to coddle people who are simply gaming the system.

i totally agree with you.
if you take an idea for a post on another blog, it is a good idea and a correct attitude to give credit for the original post…

Lovely post. Good content is very important for a blog. I also consider comments as a valuable part of my blog. I encourage every one to comment on my blog. Agent 001s last blog post..10 Must read Articles this Week

That’s right Mitch, it’s all part of the growing social network we partake in as we comment on each others blog. It adds a sort of personalization to the way we interact on the net, something you don’t get from visiting websites.

Absolutely correct, Sire, and it's something I've been working on more and more as I've increased the number of blogs I respond to. Another thing I do, however, is sometimes write about a post on another blog and send them a trackback, which also helps their blog and yours because the content on both blogs is similar, and hey, if getting ideas to write about means I have to visit someone else's blog, it's a good thing.

Gee, Christine, I can’t believe I totally forgot to mention how it is essential to reply to all good comments. Thanks for bringing up that point.
Oh, thanks for the compliment
