10. I’m not an acrobat.

I refuse to jump through hoops including multiple layers of logins, captchas, checkboxes, and anything else you require to prove I'm human. Are there really that many aliens hitting your blog comments? Photo Credit milkovasa/StockFresh

9. It was 5 screens of solid

text.

Were ALL those words really necessary? Ever think about a Part 1 and Part 2? Or headings and lists to break it up a bit? I don't have that kind of time at the moment. Have you seen my to do list?

8. I don’t think you care.

Yeah, this does matter to me. If you aren't reading your comments why should I bother sharing my brilliant thoughts?

7. "Great post" doesn't cut it.

Someone else already said that. It's kind of like me telling you I love my MacBook. I don't want to chime in like another fan boy.

6. I’m not about to admit…

…an addiction, crime, or other personal flaw with my name attached. Big Brother's watching so I don't want to talk about politics or the government either. Give me something else to talk about or an anonymous way to share my feedback.

5. Couldn't find the comment box.

I'm sure it's probably buried there somewhere under all the ads, cross promos, subscribe boxes, and things blinking and talking at me but I'm scared to keep looking. I feel claustrophobic. Photo Credit yuri_arcurs/StockFresh

4. No one else is commenting.

If someone else jumps off the bridge first, my mother always said I'd follow them. People follow the crowd.

3. I’m afraid of your commenters.

They're tearing each other to pieces! I'm not up for that kind of challenge.

2. You didn’t ask me to.

Great post, you said everything, there's nothing I can think of to add and you didn't ask me any questions.

1. I’m no detective.

I haven't discovered your blog yet. Are you promoting it and leaving REALLY obvious clues?
