Consider this the obligatory comment. :)

“Sucker posts” make for easy commentary, as people can leave a quick “me too” or add a low-hanging-fruit item to the list–and move on. Thoughtful and/or thought-provoking posts, however, require time to absorb.

I’ll often dig into Google Reader when I need a break, or have a few minutes. And triage the blah from the good stuff. And then often I will read something that leaves me thinking “hmm,” but I know that leaving a comment will take more than 30 seconds and I don’t really have that “mental” time to do it right then. So I bookmark it to do later, when I have a little more time. Sometimes that happens, sometimes not.

I also am a journalist at WhatTheyThink.com, where readers can post comments to our articles. It always warms my heart when people comment, whether positive or not, because it means that I have had an impact. And isn’t that the point of writing something?

I couldn’t believe there were no comments to this terrific post! Just had to add mine.
