A thought on blog reading etiquette, Dear Readers

Since many of our current readers seem to think that we are a much B(er)SD blog than we actually are (see here and here if you really like PageView swingage), I will remind them that a very short time ago we were blogging at drugmonkey.wordpress.com and likely pulling in fewer visitors than many of you (who blog) are pulling in now.
I commented on a recent post at Working the BENCH recently, leading to much interesting discussion. (As always, you peeps are the best commenters EVAH!)
Trouble is, the discussion was entirely over here and not at Working the BENCH. My bad, your bad, our bad.

Now I can’t tell you all what to do with your blog-reading time. Certainly I get the warm fuzzies from looking at pageview counts that anyone else does and I work to maintain interest in the readership and, especially, the commentariat. And I am not suggesting that I am a great citizen as a blog reader either. Frankly, I think some of the “insular” charges against blog-collectives like Sb have some merit and I find myself falling into that lazy trap on occasion. What can I say? I liked the Sb blogs before I was invited to join and I still like them! So I don’t always get out as much as I should (luckily, PP rocks the gadfly thing for us, props d00d!).
So I will….suggest. Suggest that once in a while if you find yourself rocking the conversation arising from link love, you stroll on over to the OP and give the blogger some comment love.
