And I just committed one of central commenting sins, didn't I? I commented to someone OTHER than the OP, because I know him and not the OP, because I agreed and that was an easy way to assert what I wanted to say.

And I think also, because when you comment on a post, one person is getting your comment whereas when you comment on a comment at least two probably read you. finally, I think kanata's comment offers the very engagement he talks about (while I wasn't fully sure with schmevil, because a poll may want to engage or not)

all that being said, schmevil, cool poll :)
