Comments on Comments

While those commenting on this blog via e-mail have been quite generous in the quantity and quality there has been a dearth on the blog itself.
Not that I am overly concerned - I believe I know why there are few comments on the blog ... I have it set up so that I have to 'approve' all comments before they post.
This I am sure keeps the haters from commenting as they falsely believe that their comments would be summarily dumped in the waste bin.
Not true - point of fact: early in this blog's infancy I actually posted one such hater comment on the blog-face so all could see the narrow-mindedness of the poster at work (I published in in the comment section as well).
The fact I posted that comment ... with an accompanying shredding of it ... along with the aforesaid 'approval' of comments has kept the comments herein (especially those from the haters), to a minimum.
So, to those who have expressed 'concern' over the lack of comments here - get over it, comments are nice but are not the measure of a blog.

On a similar note: readership is growing as are the kudos, so maybe the entire opening paragraph of this post only reflects to calm before the storm so to speak.
