That is how commenting works in my blog–discussions captured within–no emails. i prefer it that way myself (in my own blog). The problem, here, seems to be that the comments aren’t threaded but are instead chronological–?

Hmm, very interesting thread here, but of course, I do not have time to go through 119 comments. I prefer to reply to comments by email, individually.

However, if I were getting comments like Wendy and Stephanie, yes, I would reply in the comments, or reply in a follow-up post to comments in the blog post.

*laugh* Interesting experiment.

I think that I’ll try replying via my blog instead of emails…Now I need to go & spend an hour figuring it out.

I think I’ll knit instead.

I’m glad it isn’t just me doing that, Deb! I use Bloglines and Google Reader and keep them in synch with each other. After running them in parallel for a while, it seems like they pretty much balance out – one might pick up certain feeds faster than the other for a while, but then it will flip flop.

I also just heard that FeedDemon is now available free, but I haven’t checked that out at all.
