Hello there:
Here's my request...I get a little pang of disappointment every time I check to see who has read my posting, see that there has been perhaps "19" views -- but then no comments. It seems to me that it could be good etiquette, and a good spiritual practice of reciprocity, to at least briefly comment on any posting that someone reads.
I am going to start doing this when I read anyone else's posting, and I invite y'all to try it to.

Hi Durwin,
I have enjoyed your posts, but simply do not have time to comment on everything I read, unless I have something valuable to add.
Other people are probably in the same boat. I have over a hundred “friends” here on Zaadz and the posts just keep coming through the friends blog aggregator here. I've also got my Google Reader full of frequent posters, and pay attention to some forums here on Zaadz as well.
Occasionally, someone posts something where I feel that my perstpecive might add something valuable. In those instances, I leave a comment.
Please believe that your blog is appreciated whether I leave a comment or not. Thanks for taking the time to write.

Hi Sean: Yes, I think that is a good point you add there…to make a judgement whether one has some perspective to add…thanks!
Hi Durwin!
Yes I'd echo Sean's ideas, but it would be nice to somehow leave a footprint, a visitor card, a hello, something, to echo/dialogue with your word. In any case, I read your blog regularly and quite enjoy it!

Hi Durwin,
I'm grateful to actually be able to know that my posts are being read by X number of someone ;-)
Namaste,
Alex
I fully agree! I'm new on Zaadz, but have found some lack of communication between seemingly amazing people. I'm here to share and to add my light to yours and yours to mine …etc…
Durwin,
I just read a piece of your blog and enjoyed it! It may be the first time you have posted since I have begun visiting Zaadz on a regular basis. I appreciate your thoughtful approach to the topic and enjoy your perspective on men's issues.

Yes, that is a great request. I will try to follow it, though I do not read many posts.
