That’s good–I must have cleaned up OK then.

@Steve, I’ve never noticed that with you. You’ve always been a gentleman in my book. Snarky at times, certainly, but always in a good way.

I have enjoyed reading your posts on this challenge. I’m glad I didn’t make the same commitment, but it did get me to think more about comments and to try coComment again, which is *way* better than it was when I first tried it.

You say:

>I’ve noticed that some people exhibit very different behavior on their blog vs. in comments on other people’s blogs. Some will be very civil on their own blog and then will be quite argumentative or insulting in comments elsewhere. It’s almost like they think their hands are clean so long as they keep their own blog clean.

I have been like that in the past, I know. I think I have cleaned up my act more recently, though.

@Greg, I think you’re right that it does make a difference. Congrats to you too on finishing this journey!

@ellie, I really like coComment too and will definitely stick with it from here on in. It’s nice to know where the conversations have gone once I put in my 2cents.

Thanks for sharing this whole experience. I didn’t sign up for the challenge, but I’m giving coComment a try and enjoying it so far.

Congrats on crossing the finish line! I am trying to respond to just about every comment now. I can feel how it makes a big difference to the commenter.
