		<description>Interesting.  There are so many bloggers that limit this or that and want everything perfect.  I like your ten comment rule.  I will use your idea about leaving Akismet in charge of your spam.  

Thanks,

		<description>[...] Those are the bare bones basics to getting more blog comments: end with a clear call-to-action, transition to that call-to-action, and build a list which you can use to follow up with for later blog posts.

		<description>Dear Robert and Nick The Geek,

As with Nick The Geek, I recognized what you were doing by implementing the 10 comment rule.

After having studied Post Graduate Biochemistry ,on phi X174 bacteriophages, then R.N. Nursing then Medicine
abroad in two languages, then Unix Administration I never thought I would be taking advise or direction from 
some punk kids who could be my sons! Tomalo por el lado amable. Take it on the friendly side! I already sent you 
a personal letter a long time ago thanking you for sharing your education with me.

To paraphrase the Ruby on Rails team: It&#039;s the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you&#039;re mad, then suddenly your dangerous! Then there is a pause and then you can&#039;t find anyone who disagrees with you! 

Thanks again punk kid, my own friends who are programmers here don&#039;t answer my calls and sometimes it really hurts me to feel off the wall at 54.I even remember their birthdays every year. All I can do to feel better is remember I saved many lives and eased the suffering, by holding their hand etc, of people who were dying in front of my eyes and I had never met them before and rarely got paid. 

Oh, the emptiness of their shallow lives,i.e. my so called programmer friends here where I live in Emporia Kansas.

Dear Nick The Geek, would you be so kind as also let me beta test your Wordpress plug-in written to automate the 
posting of additional posts but only after x number of comments? But, as Robert says a 48 hour delay if post#1 
fills up right away so post#2 doesn&#039;t get posted on the same day.

Just a little FYI I did beta testing for BrainMaker Artificial Intelligence, designed by seven Caltech 
mathematicians and engineers. I used it to predict the dog races in Tijuana Baja California México. So, I really will send you feedback when I find mistakes, glitches or suggestions etc.

Thank you for your attention to the above request and please have a pleasant day!

Yours very sincerely and respectfully,
Frank Funston Eckdall
Esquire
P.D. Thanks again all you punk kids who share your research and knowledge. Tomalo por el lado amable.</description>

		<description>Hi Robert,

Some very good suggestions that I will certainly take to heart. It&#039;s very true that my own reply comments will be added to the total.
________________________________________________

Hi John. I&#039;m sorry, didn&#039;t mean to pry into your personal situation, nor to publicly villify the owner of the company that failed. But as you&#039;ve suggested one possibility of bad debts causing loss to you and likely many others, it was simply my intent to be forewarned in future dealings with this and other hosts. If you&#039;d prefer a private response you can find me in Forum Know How. Thanks for your time :-)</description>

		<description>Robert 
I agree the purpose of a blog has to be to promote interaction and that you need a measure of regular readers.

The Money is in The Quality Connection not in the list.

The only way to answer the question -
&quot;Do I Have a Quality Connection with My Readers?&quot; -
is to set up a rule like the 10 Comment one you&#039;re
using.

In my business studies classes I teach the importance 
of testing and tracking.  What you test and track 
you can control. What you control you can improve.
Bottom line - what you improve builds your client connection long term and that builds your future income streams.

In the case of your blog you have such a positive public profile I&#039;m sure you&#039;d always have plenty of readers as you are constantly adding value to their life.

Keep up the &quot;10 CR&quot;  -Ten Comment Rule - it&#039;s a great way to build quality client connections.

Success Belongs To You Robert
Ken Little
PS
Many thanks for the amazing scripts.</description>
