I couldn't actually recall if you'd ever replied to a post of mine

Precisely! This is what I expect from my fellow LJers.

Some people just don't comment much.

Totally. And I've gotten much better at comments - gone are the days when I responded only to direct requests for information, and then only anonymously. These days, I just recklessly leave comments everywhere, sometimes as many as ten per day.

Seriously, for me, that is major progress.
