Timothy Johnson started a new meme that I read about on Middle Zone Musings. Robert decided to just tag his readers in general. So as one of his readers I am joining the meme. The idea behind this one is that you go back and find 10 posts that did not receive comments but are interesting enough to give a second chance. Brad Shorr provided the best name for this meme.
I bet for some people this might be a challenge since they get quite a few comments on each post. For me this was easy because I have a very quite audience. I have noticed that most people only comment when you make a mistake. I guess I do not get many comments because I am rarely, if ever, wrong.
So here are my top ten:
- The future is obsolete
- The Market is Fundamentally Sound
- My First Full-length Movie
- Made in China – the center of the world
- The hour before Christmas
- What idiot would actually want to be elected president in 2008?
- A bit of advice for couples
- Intellectual Property Rights Versus Progress
- Something foul in Providence and I don’t mean chicken
- Why is it that the best results come from the greatest struggles?
I am going to follow Robert Hruzek’s example and not tag anyone in particular. If you happen to have 5-10 posts that have not gotten any comments and you want to participate. Put a link in the comment or send me a link to your post and I will link to you. Okay?

Hi Luke, I like these posts, comments or not. Tim and Robert had some excellent stuff as well, which maybe shows that comments may not be the best or only measure of quality.
Well, I also like all the posts, and I’m not just saying that because I’m biased.
You really have a way with words. By the way, I liked the way you intentionally put a typo in and then mentioned typos. That is one way to know you get away with a typo!!

Thanks!,
Brad, I think comments are a great indicator of the quality of the blog and the post, but a lot of the no comment posts were from earlier days of the blog when traffic was lower and in my case, I was making commenting too difficult. Of course, some really great concepts are presented in a way that does not lend itself to conversation sometimes.
Ruwjydfo, Your welcome. But, for what?
Funny. I used to read posts that I thought were SO cool and either comment in person or not comment at all. I am beginning to see that there is something cool about getting comments on your blog, even if you already got verbal ones.
So, I took the time to comment on several of these “no comment” posts, thus making them “comment posts.”
Tabetha,
Thanks for commenting. Sometimes having a record of conversations and thoughts is worth while too, even if the thought is as simple as, “Cool” or “huh?”.
I really appreciate you taking the time to help my memory. You know how easily I forget stuff if I do not write it down.
What a novel idea!
Hey Luke, nice posts you have there. Commented or not, those are some awesome articles worth reading. Loved the last one. Keep up the good work man. Your an awesome writer.
Hey Stacy,
Thanks for the complement. Do you write online?
Got to agree with Stacy. Those are some really good articles you’ve done. Loved all of it. They do deserve some comments. Your blog looks really good too. Rock on.
