Well alright, that's not the only reason, but it's the best way of joining the ol' blogosphere. Often I comment if I've really enjoyed a piece or, as some have said already, I disagree with it. Thing is, if I REALLY have something to say about a post, I tend to just blog about it myself anyway! I comment to gain readers to my own blog through click-throughs.

I think one rather than none comments is the most regrettable number as it's good to talk as Bob Hoskins or whoever it was used to say. Okay, I’m commenting :) I like to have a conversation!

Problem is, there's just too many people to talk to. Asking questions, like you did for this post is definitely a way to get more comments. I also comment in regards to comments. If someone is saying something that I agree with or disagree, I want to respond to them directly. A blog is the best way to do that, because everyone can see the response. If only you could comment directly from feed readers! I like to comment a lot. Problem is, there’s just too many people to talk to.

A lot of bloggers are as bad as their mainstream, old media counterparts: I blog; you listen. It gives readers the same feeling of disengagement traditional media does.

If I have a personal experience or view, I'll post to your blog. But only if I don't have to go through some drawn out registration process to be able to post my response. Steve's right. In the main I reckon the average joe contributes if they think they are adding something to the pot rather than simply endorsing the blogger's view. If you ask me a question, I answer!
