That's the main difference. <br /><br />In some ways it's about leaving open questions for people to answer. It's about being slightly controversial. It's also about focusing on a subject that stokes people's passions. Most of our comments are on restaurants and the proposed new high school. <br /><br />Some of those comments are our own and in some cases I've called people and encouraged them to comment on the blog. But this seeding pays off in spades, as others jump into the conversation when they feel the passion.Chuck Tanowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959607527869783948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15731037.post-50569269917599121792006-12-27T22:43:00.000-05:002006-12-27T22:43:00.000-05:00Losing comments, not good.

How do you encourage more commenting?John_Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879960964396128190noreply@blogger.com
