		<description>Ducan ~ when a site reaches the point of having an abundant amount of comments, I can certainly understand your point.  So I guess I am really speaking of the smaller sites that allow comments.  And the lack of interaction from the webloger&#039;s that only carry&#039;s with a negative appearance that they don&#039;t really care what you have to say.  

One of the things I have just done in effort to help boost my traffic is creating a community message board in association with my web site and placing a direct link to the board on my side bar.  I am hoping that it will be a success, but like all things in the blogsphere..it depends upon people using such.

I here what you are saying, and I suppose one thing I could have added was &quot;don&#039;t get to rapped up in blogroll politics&quot; as at the end of the day its not the most important thing in blogging, and the intent is to help. I do see great value in commentors although I also make a choice to allow links from commentors as well which some no don&#039;t do, this in itself is a link if you like, if not in the blogroll then from the site. The only issue I use to have is that it is often difficult to read all the comments on a blog, and I say use to as the amount of comment spam I received on the Blog Herald when I was running MT was so huge but that the only comments I saw where the ones I was deleting through MT Blacklist. These days I&#039;m back reading some comments in spare moments and WordPress allows easier reading and management of them. 
The moral I suppose is if you&#039;ve got the time by all means link to regular visitors if you have the inclination, time and ability to do so. 

On territorialism your comments are true, but the bigger you get the harder it is to please everyone, and some times you&#039;ve got to say &quot;right, what&#039;s in it for me&quot;. Its unfortunate but itâ€™s a grim reality forced upon larger blogs and bloggers by time constraints.</description>
