A literal description of my state of mind
A literal description of my state of mind
About two weeks ago I mentioned my apparent talent for killing comment threads. Since then, it's gotten even worse than before.
If y'all are doing it on purpose, then knock it off. It ain't funny no more.

Oh wait. Sorry. False alarm.
Posted by: topdawg at April 30, 2004 07:27 AMCome on over and start a comment thread. You can't kill it! It's already dead.

But considering what you said I'm apparently killing my comment threads before they have a chance to live, now.
I used to get a smattering of comments. Now hits are up, comments are dowwwwwwwn.
OK, Ted, here's the deal! It's not good enough to comment "And that and this true and that's all." (not that you've ever posted that...).
A comment should not only build on the tread, but should probably also invite more comment.

Posted by: Mookie at May 1, 2004 06:42 AMThe problem here, Ted, is that your comments are TOO witty, insightful, germaine etc--once we have read your response, we realize that anything we may add is superfluous...
Posted by: Susie at May 1, 2004 10:41 AMDarn it Susie, you keep that up and my hat won't fit. If I believed any of that of course, you flatterer you. BTW, don't stop. :D
Posted by: Ted at May 2, 2004 08:54 AMI figured, I better comment since it has been almost 12 hours since you have posted your comment Ted ;)
