		<description>Well I comment at certain blogs all the time, so it's easy to just keep checking back.  I don't really make comments where I'm not responded to.  If they don't do it, I just lose interest.

But if I've left a substantial comment, especially one where I've asked a question, I just remember and keep checking.  Most of the blogs I visit are very quick at responding.

There are times, though, when I am just clicking on new blogs and then I leave a comment and totally forget where I went.  But I figure if that person is really involved, they will likely come by my place and comment too.  That will remind me.  :)</description>

		<description>Thanks, Cathouse Teri!

I do pretty good at checking back, where the blog has a 'check here to be notified of responses' check box.  I try to check back when I make a comment, but sometimes ...

How do you keep track of each comment you leave?</description>

		<description>You mention many good points, Brad.  One main point is that we tell kids to tell someone when they encounter a bully.  But how many people in authority take them seriously?  

As in the case of One Man's nephew, why does this story get so far as to the boy's uncle?  Why was it not stopped short at the place where it happened?  What the hell are those people in authority doing?  

And I like what you point out in Cliff's "nice guy" story.  I did tell him, in my comments, that the sort of thing he mentions isn't the result of being too nice but being too naive.  I guess you just said it in a clearer and nicer way.  :)

So do you go visit my blog when you make comments and read my response to them?</description>
