2. Why don’t I comment? I think I’ll go with C. All the above.

I’ll sound lame, nothing occurs to me, the post isn’t all that interesting or the blogger has made it too difficult to even find the commenting section.

3. Can I become a Commenter? I’ll follow along with the challenge. Who knows? Maybe TJ will be my Chantix and change my behavior.

If you love to be unique, however, no one has made me a badge that people can use to put on their own sites and link back to the challenge!

Once in a while is the best I do these days. I like to think I’m getting better though!

2. What’s your standard excuse for NOT commenting? (It’s probably lame, mine were)

I have a couple. One is that I read blogs at work, and clicking through to comment makes more bandwidth usage and draws attention to what I’m doing… which is not working, and not something I want IT to notice. The other is that by the time I get to reading a blog post (look at me now, this is two days old already), people have already said what I would have wanted to say, so there’s no point in repeating it.

3. Do you think you’ll be able to become a Person Who Comments?

I’m going to try, and we’ll see what happens. I was also going to try to make you a banner, but I see you’ve already got one (curse the lateness again!). I’d still be glad to, though, if you find you want variety. :)
