comments, wherefore art thou comments?

I agree with Tom and Candice. People really aught to comment when they read blogs. Not to inflate the blogger's ego, or to start some sort of e-fight, but just so that the blogger knows that someone actually reads this rag. For instance, on the last blog I wrote there was a picture of Steven, and a mention from me that he was really adorable. Someone hypothetically could have simply said:

"Yes Tiffany, your husband certainly is a big stud.
Look at him, wielding his big shovel like the men of yore."

That's all. It would have sufficed. Instead, nobody commented on the overwhelming manliness of my Zeus-like husband.
