A deluge of livejournal

[jack]

You probably noticed I hit a deluge of catching up on LJing last night. I notice the posts seem to be in two sorts:

* Medleys of things I did, which attracted no comments.

* Thoughts on topics, which attracted many comments and in some cases webpages (:) thanks, Owen).

Is it that a medley makes it hard to read, or to pick one thing to reply to, or just that topics often have something that needs a reply to, but things I did don't?

or just that topics often have something that needs a reply to, but things I did don't?

I think that on the whole `what I did posts' will attract less comment because if you weren't there,* there is often not much that can be said whereas thoughts about stuff provoke discussion.

*Unless it's the sort of thing which results in needing sympathy.

* LOL. Yes, I almost mentioned "Except when I say 'I need a hug'". BUt I rarely do.
