There are varying degrees of comment-begging. Some rub me the wrong way, others don't. I think Jim meant that buying comments is a waste of time, which I would tend to agree with.

Of course, I agree that it is the author's responsibility to generate the original article content and I appreciate a response like yours - where it is more than "good job" Also, thanx for the tip about opening the comments up to a wider audience.

One of the reat ways to thank your commenters is by "DoFollow" plugin. While comments contribute to the quality of your site they just do that, "contribute" it is up to you to provide quality content. Thanks for opening up your comments! ;) Mark,
