I also have several blogs and haven't been able to fully track all my comments but for me it's a wakeup call to get out there and contribute to the work of others more.

Finding the number of comments I've made is easy... or so I thought, until I remembered that I always immediately unsubscribe to my own posts on CoComment, because these conversations are tracked elsewhere. And, of course, I do comment on my own blog in repsonse to those who take the time to stop by. I find it rude when I submit a question and the blogowner doesn't so much as acknowledge it, so I try always to respond. Secondly, I have several blogs, and trying to figure out how many posts I have written across them all is a bit of a nightmare. In the end, a very rough estimate has me on the plus side of 1.0, possibly even as high as 2.0. Like Ewan, I consider commenting as important as, if not more important than posting. To me, commenting is like joining in a conversation that someone else started, while posting is like starting your own conversation. If you think of it like that, it seems a little, well self-important to post more and comment less. A bit too much like being in love with the sound of your own voice to the exclusion of what others might have to say. Maybe I'm reading too much into it!

ALl of a sudden I feel really guilty about how little I've commented on people's blogs lately! I used to do it a ton, but have really started slacking. Thanks for the wakeup call! Wow.
