My impression (rightly or wrongly) is that we are looking for different levels of personal connection in our social media. There's nothing wrong with that obviously, but it informs my choice of how and when to comment.

Yeah, I'd agree. I mean, this LJ is for me primarily a way to talk with readers and promote my work. I don't think of it as socializing.

But, all that said, if you're looking for more comments then I'll see what I can do to hold up my end of the tacit social contract. ;-)

On the one hand, I'm really not whining so I'll get more posts. Truly, I'm not. It's just nice to know that you're not talking to an empty room.
