This is a public service announcement, inspired by a discussion with nou about why some posts and indeed some posters garnered more attention than others.

I like comments, including ones that go off on a rambling tangent and start conversations with each other. Comments on the subject matter of the post are especially welcomed, but as far as I know they're still not rationing space here.

If nobody comments, I have no idea whether anyone read it or not. If I have evidence that people read it and enjoyed it, I will most likely post more of it. If I'm feeling nice, I'll even do requests. Alternatively, if you dislike my rambling and wish I'd just delete the journal entirely, please say so and I shall take the appropriate steps¹.

With the exception of the odd period when I'm travelling too much, I generally manage to read everything on my friendslist. Because it's a fairly substantial thing these days, it means that even on days when I also have time to comment in addition to reading, even if I leave a fair number of comments, they're fairly scattered. Another related bad habit of mine is to leave tabs open with posts I'd like to respond to, but am not sure what to say exactly... days can go by that way, and then I need to reboot and close tabs in a hurry and even when I note the URLs, I often forget to go back and actually act on those good intentions.

I do this too :( Not sure if there's a solution that will work for me. If there is, it probably involves a bookmarklet of some kind. I shall have a think.
