I know what you're talking about. It kind of makes you feel like the red-headed step-child. I stopped following a couple of blogs that did that. I figured if they had asked for input and couldn't respond to that same request that perhaps they had too many followers and not enough time. I hope I helped resolve that issue for them:)<Vickie Medleyhttp://www.sentimentaljourneyz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871879927743520729.post-53528090437532415152012-03-20T06:13:22.000-05:002012-03-20T06:13:22.000-05:00I do respond when someone asks a question, or If t...I do respond when someone asks a question, or If their comment actually deserves a response. Most of the comments that are left require no response from me unless it is just to say thanks for the comment. I really enjoy following you and your blog. I seldom leave a comment mostly because I do not have a question.
