Isn't it funny how the quick, couple of sentence posts that you just pull out of your ass surprise you sometimes with more comments then the posts you put thought into?
Simple explanation:
With a well thought out post, you may raise responses in your readers' heads, but then you cover those points, so there's nothing left to say but "nice post", which is too lame to leave as a comment.
With a two-line throwaway, the responses aren't addressed, so your readers leave them as comments.
The less YOU say, the more you leave for your readers to say.

Actually, I think there's some sort of law of inverse ratios here, combined with the tendency for comments to generate more comments as readers respond to other commenters...Posted by: Susie at July 28, 2005 10:36 AM (PWYyH)
