I think there is less commenting on all blogs - both public and members only.  Part of it is the Q&A section, but a bigger part is that people are just so busy this time of year.  I know I've cut back my participation in all areas here.

I don't think so. I think it has more to do with the new AR system of not easily finding the people we follow to read their posts. I certainly haven't found much of difference in comments on posts that I do for public versus member only consumption.

I've found that the Q&As seem to get the most response. There have been so many changes, I have a hard time following my followers and myself even!

Members oly posts were for member information...Now days with the ownership pushing the SEO and other internet needs this sight has gone to more of an advertising sight.  SADLY!

We have had no problems

I've noticed that Members Only post cut my view by two-thirds.  So now unless it is necessary I go for the Public not Members Only

Chris and Dick Dovorany I haven't seen too many either. The Q&A may have something to do with it.

Hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it.  You're right.

I read the ones who have left comments on my posts.

I'm still getting AR's reading my blogs, just not so many comments.  Lots of Likes though.

Chris and Dick -- I try to reciprocate to those who comment on my posts which are primarily those I follow and it's difficult enough to find them.   

Time is a definite issue.   

Q/A is good because it's quick after you sort through the duplicate posting of questions.
