When something I post gets twice as many comments as usual, I know I've done good work. When less than usual, I know I've been self-indulgent and boring. so, both commenting and not commenting have a useful function.<br /><br />By the way, some trivia concerning our Old State House: There is a subway (underground) station beneath it - State - and entrance to it is through the building. It must have seemed like a wonderful thing to do when they built the stop back in the 1920's or whenever, but could you imagine the outcry now if somebody laid out plans to deposit a subway stop in the basement of an historic building?Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101041874322030800.post-38205056472111383352012-08-15T18:45:43.241+01:002012-08-15T18:45:43.241+01:00Should I comment more?

I'm one of those guys that likes to comment but sometimes I'll just lurk. Not often though, as I've had off-line discussions with my blogging pals and they all agree: comments are the lifeblood of blogging.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
