A whine about commenting

Why do people, you know who you are, who participate in Mr Linky MEMES leave a URL which is NOT the one for the MEME they signed up/in to?

Why do some blogs, you know who you are, have a WHOLE page to scroll down to get to the comment box only to find a link to another whole page to scroll down to get to the comment box and then there's the word verification and then - you know who you are - the comment is held for owner approval!!!!!!!

People! Get a grip! Its a comment!

Aren't TWO pages of scrolling to leave a comment with word verification enough?

Next I expect to see 'enter your blood type including RH factor' .

Do you, yes, you know who you are, not get annoyed by this when you visit blogs that seem better protected than Fort Knox?

Do you ever just get so frustrated you don't leave a comment?

Have you noticed there's no standard spot for comments on blogs? I must spend 2 or 3 seconds looking for the comment link on each blog I visit.

AND why ... why ... why do you get insulted when I don't reply to your comment when it clearly says

I only reply to comments by email, so if you're not set up that way don't think I didn't read or appreciate the time you took ... I just find it easier to be clever and personal in email format. :-D

If you want to get a reply, include your email address ...


Okay.

I feel better.


I needed to let that out ... so please consider how hard you make it to leave a comment ... do you ever wonder why you get such monosyllabic comments from me?

I am exhausted by the time I get to the comment box.

And given my age, I probably forgot what I was seeing/reading by then.
