Luckily, I've not had any such experience yet; I'm fairly new to blogging, plus I always read the posts before commenting (and also, leaving comments on multiple blogs takes up SO MUCH of my time, so I don't do it unless I actually mean it. Networking isn't my strongest point).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568095711517362117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-60514651385329061102012-01-17T05:02:06.010-05:002012-01-17T05:02:06.010-05:00Agree with you all... :)Agree with you all... :)Gürtelhttp://www.smartguy.de/accessoires/guertelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-79086520402189519622012-01-12T21:05:33.955-05:002012-01-12T21:05:33.955-05:00Amen!

Thanks for sharing this post with me! :)<br /><br />And in response to your comment the other day, I wanted to say that I completely agree with you that questions posed in a comment should be answered if possible, and I always answer them (unless they were clearly answered in the post-grrr). If I ever haven't, it was definitely just an accident! <br /><br />As far as replying to all comments goes, that's something the individual blogger has to decide if they can do based on how much time they are willing and able to spend on blogging. I'm really glad you've been able to do it so far--looks like you have a great community going here! <br /><br />Also, re: having questions answered via email, you might consider adding your email address to your Blogger profile. I have all my comments sent right to my inbox, so I reply to questions directly that way, as I know most other bloggers do as well. I feel like an asshole when I have to visit a blog and answer a question when I may not have time to also leave a thoughtful comment on the person's post... lol! <br /><br />Such a balancing act. I say everyone just do the best you can! :) (but definitely do NOT comment if you haven't read the post!

I have 2 small babies, work 55 hours a week outside the home and have a husband as well. I also am training for a marathon and try to cook and are in my "spare" time. I must admit I too am guilty of not reading the whole post and commenting. It's not a nice thing to do. Bunts so jars to figure out what to do. I love your honesty. This is a beautiful post and great scaling.

I started blogging not too long ago and if it is one thing I have learned it is that the sincere comments I get on my blog can honestly make my day, I put a lot of time into my posts as do so many other amazing bloggers that its nice when people fully read the post and comment!

I'm usually pretty good about reading the whole thing though because I don't want to slip up like that. I always try to comment on something specifically so the person knows I actually paid attention. <br />But yeah, we've all gotten comments like "wow cool post check out my blog too!" or "what a great story!" that have nothing to do with anything. Usually just people trying to get more followers.

You are totally right, you can tell if someone has read your post or not. I always try to make an effort to read people's posts fully and comment thoughtfully. People pour themselves into their posts so the least I can do is respect them and read their thoughts and feelings. I know that I like it when people comment on my posts thoughtfully so I like to do the same thing for others. =)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02928577212863841454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-5189078666350040542011-12-29T11:06:17.253-05:002011-12-29T11:06:17.253-05:00Holy cow.

It amazes me when I get comments that have NOTHING to do with my post, but I guess that's why I don't make an effort to read their blogs again, and it's also why I don't become blog friends with them. We all make mistakes, and I'm sure we're not the only bloggers to do that. :) Thanks again for sharing!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264648257398440130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-58209739387336977492011-12-29T10:24:31.617-05:002011-12-29T10:24:31.617-05:00That really is a good point.

But when I started noticing comments on my blog that were clearly from people who hadn't read the whole post, I realized that how hurt that made me, I was doing the same to someone else. Now, I try really hard to read everything in the blog before commenting and if I don't want to read the whole things, I don't comment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385787689075231229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562199986463082038.post-7519300934156612532011-12-29T10:22:54.020-05:002011-12-29T10:22:54.020-05:00I just ignore the comments that obviously are from...I just ignore the comments that obviously are from people who didn't read the post.
