1. Do you like to reply to every comment in your journal? I try to. Sometimes I can't… but for the most part I think I get most of them :) Hard to think of a witty reply to a smiley (though I like getting them!) Also, on the occasion when one reader is replying to another, I may not answer the latter if it's clear I'm not needed to.

2. What type of post gets the most/least responses in your journal? Questions about the sort of things that everyone can have an opinion on - words and language, customs of other countries, definitely food. Oh, and icon posts, even old ones.

3. What do you do when a new person first comments in your journal? Umm, reply or at least say thanks?

4. When you're reading someone else's journal, do you read every comment before adding your own? Depends on what I'm commenting on - sometimes it's a good idea if I suspect that I'm going to be repeating what most of the others have said, so I can find a different way to say "me seventhly!" or whatever.

5. When is "too late" to reply to an entry? Depends on the post - stories, icons, pics and music and happy thoughts… never. General my-life-and-welcome-to-it, probably the point where I can't even recall whatever it was I was talking about is a tad late, but I have no problem if someone does...

words and language, customs of other countries, definitely food.

True! Hadn't thought of it that way, but you've put it well--topics that everyone can have an opinion on.

Fun to read your answers! M.
