Some people comment every few months, some each week, some even less frequently... it all depends. But, the majority don't say anything. Even though I wish they would because I'm very interested in people, where they come from, what their story may be, how do they live, what do they do, which country do they live in, what kind of food do they eat... all those things, but mostly they don't say anything and I don't take that as being bad or insulting because I pass people on the street all the time and they don't say anything when they see me either. A lot of people treat it like being out in public and they don't say anything because they just don't know you.<BR/><BR/>Don't take it to heart. A lot of people just have nothing decent to say and so it's perhaps better they just keep looking.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15061935263412550072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263239775329950565.post-57779758136608334752008-09-24T18:26:00.000-07:002008-09-24T18:26:00.000-07:00All reasonable responses.

Sadly, there rarely are.<BR/><BR/>I also probably lurk on more blogs than I comment on.
