My blog reader...I hear you on the lack of comments. My blog readers aren't always vocal either. But they can be. This is a good case in point.<br /><br />The difficulty of posting comments here, was mentioned above. But I think there's another reason why this blog gets fewer comments... many of your readers engage with you and your content via Facebook.<br /><br />Count me among those who value your reportage of the local and national food scene without unnecessary drama. Remember, comments are a double edged sword. Or maybe the better advice is to be careful what you wish for.<br /><br />Regardless, enjoy some R&R and I'll look forward to your return.

I guess most people prefer a site that lets them jerk others around, and I'm not into that.<br />William M.

They are always well written, thought provoking & interesting. There will always be "haters" and people who feel the need to attack because they aren't happy with themselves. Don't let them do that. You taught me that through all of my challenges in my life and I admire you. Keep shining that light! :)Jenn Nietohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471797944393897169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109130496144510269.post-55652447255544047512017-11-08T11:10:56.730-05:002017-11-08T11:10:56.730-05:00I really enjoy your blog, and read it often.

You should also note that it is a bit harder to enter comments on this platform than it is on other blogs, speaking from a process standpoint. I am always prompted to log in, which isn't always convenient, and I have lost some typed comments through that process that I didn't want to re-type. Your current format helps alleviate some of the trolling that poisons other blogs, but if you want more comments I would look at changing how your commenting platform works.DENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539544038807319396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109130496144510269.post-91849628041450963692017-11-06T23:38:23.555-05:002017-11-06T23:38:23.555-05:00So sorry to hear you are stopping, I hope it will ...So sorry to hear you are stopping, I hope it will be temporary. I have always appreciated your reporting and news style/class. As you stated I read your blog to find facts and relevant industry information which you reported. The fact that you controlled comments cutting others apart was important. I myself am just a reader and I have lived out of the area and country for a few years now. Your blog allowed me to "stay in touch"..... I hope you will reconsider....Thank you for all your past reporting BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109130496144510269.post-44144838835278649752017-11-06T08:22:09.548-05:002017-11-06T08:22:09.548-05:00I'll third that!I'll third that!Marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368817115763985331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109130496144510269.post-29815469705775964492017-11-05T04:46:41.146-05:002017-11-05T04:46:41.146-05:00I enjoy your postsI enjoy your postsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109130496144510269.post-1372599417826515632017-11-04T17:48:26.399-04:002017-11-04T17:48:26.399-04:00I enjoy your posts, so please don't go!I enjoy your posts, so please don't go!Mcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373675422086362611noreply@blogger.com
