on comments

I've been meaning to post something on this for quite some time, but, for whatever reason, I just haven't.

I'm never sure where to post comments to others' comments. I don't subscribe to RSS feeds, so I always have to check back on others' blogs to see if someone has responded to my comments. I'm just self-centered enough that I figure that others don't subscribe to RSS feeds, either (even though I have buttons for doing so here and I've seen them elsewhere). Actually, I just never much think about it.

So, sometimes I post my own responses to responses in my own comments and sometimes I got back to your sites and post my comments there. I think I've finally made up my mind that if I'm solely responding to something you've posted in a comment, I'll comment there. I like to think of the comments as a place for further conversation, but it can't really be if no one goes back and reads the comments.

Anyhow, I'll try this for a bit and see how it goes. (This would be so much more of an issue if I had more than a handful of readers. Fortunately, my dearest readers, we don't have such a big problem here.)

How do you all deal with this? (Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks about this while she's away from the computer.)
