***Dave reflects on commentary. It seems to me that many blogs with explosive comments are those that make explosive commentary. I am pretty sure I would get more comments at the Flea but am ruthless at pruning out material that is insulting or simply argumentative. If I were to leave such comments be I imagine fights would break out and comments (and possibly traffic) would be generated but I decided early on that my blood pressure could not take it.
I am with ***Dave in his befuddlement as to what provokes a reaction and what is left in silence. Sometimes I post something tongue in cheek to wind people up and nothing happens while the other day a debate broke out about the efficacy of Ewok military tactics. I take no responsibility for that one.

Hey, it wasn't a total waste of time. I learned something new about the Ewok thing (thanks to Dave Munger). I had no idea they were based on the Viet Cong.
But in his cinematic character study of the VC, George forgot to include the boring bits about the Rebel Alliance moving millions of tons of war matériel to the forest moon of Endor via the Wicket W. Warrick Trail, and the Empire's failure to halt it with Arc Light orbital bombardment.

Since I don't have a site meter, I rely on the occasional comment or link to show that people actually read my silly blog. Not too many comments, alas. Not too many readers? I can't be sure!

I would leave comments all the time but can't stand BugSplat's comment registration system.
