What you feel when you dont get reply to your comment on a post
I recently posted a comment appreciating a blog post, but the author simply kept repling to other comments but not to mine.
What can be the reason! It was the first time I visited that blog, went and commented for the nice article that was written, and visited it back to see if the author even bothered to reply.
I felt bad to see that the author did not reply to my comments but he/she did to other comments on the same post! I dont think after this treatment i will again go to the same blog ever.
Reason: Updated title for the limitation
Bloggers need to value their readers and reply to all the comments. At the same time on a blog that receives hundreds of comments every dya, the blogger may not be able to respond to all the comments considering the fact that he also has many other things to do. May be your commment did not contain any question and that blogger replies to a comment only when there is a need for him to say something in reply. You need not be distressed at that thing. What if he doesn't reply to your comment. You still can enjoy reading what he writes.
+1 thats a positive thought Ranjit. The scenario was a bit different were i was the first who commented and others, later. The post was about Cause, and involved contribution. I promised on the comment that I will contribute. I guess, it did invite a thank you the least.
@Hemal give the blogger a benefit of doubt, reply to one more post and see what happens . Then you can formulate your plan of action in the future . :)
haha! yes Mr. Umpire 
I guess I dont have to make much fuss about it, but still I want to know what others think of this behaviour!
but nt the umpire .. sorry ah abhi, never mind :D
@Hemal: Visit a psychic hippie and ask her the reason for this misfortune.
lol!
Why the hell do you care? Who was it by the way?
yeah it does feel good when the author replies but still.. don't let it take away your sleep.
[No offence meant. Just poking fun.]
lolz... man you are such a fun to talk with 
well I cared coz i felt i deserved a reply! but wont loose sleep for sure
@Pg, +1.
I also follow the same strategy. I make it a point to reply to all comments. If they are on-liners, I reply merely by "Thanks" and if they are sincere comments, I ensure to reply appropriately:)
@Pramod yep I agree, sometimes we miss and we always have the opportunity to make up.
@Animesh this is a good way to follow. +1
thats another school of thought! yep, I agree many a times even I dont visit the post back to see if the author replies, its some times when there was a question that asked. Benefit of doubt, hmm, lets see how long can i keep this thing out of my mind
@Pramod I agreeeeeee.. she can comman over it
*command
@Arti yep, it is and you are right that some times, you deserve to get a reply.
whenever i comeent on any particular post i keep watching for its reply, there are few who have a practice of not replying to the comments...personally i like to respond to each n every comments and make sure that no one is left, even if there is nothing to answer then atleast a word of thnx is needed i suppose.....
this is a nice way to keep your readers involved @irfanuddin.. yep, for many of the first time visitors, a word of thanks is a must.
I dont know but I do not reply to all comments , or rather I reply '@All'. Not that I get a lot :P ..but still I would consider giving her/him another chance :), 'test it twice, before you log a bug' thats what I believe in :) :P ...
@Poorvi thanks for your two cents... second chance seems to be the favorite amongst all who are here.
