A full 7 of 10 blog readers don't comment because they just don't have anything to say. I've met folks like that. Never been one myself, but it's clear they exist. Maybe they are the ears of the Body?
32% of readers don't comment because they're shy. Shy? On the internet? The invisible, anonymous, imaginary internet? If you're shy on the internet, I feel compelled to tell you that I bet there is a medication for that. ;)
18% of readers do comment on at least an occasional basis. They're my favorite! Surfing my blog's and other blog's comment sections is my very favorite way to meet new people. So thanks...for commenting here and there and anywhere.
6% of the readers here apparently have someone from which to hide for fear of their life. I feel your pain. But I'm a little freaked out.
1% of lookie-lous don't know how to comment. Only 1? Now wait a minute...I, personally, know 2 of you who have used that excuse with me...well...in person. Dare I tell you how to comment? Because then you would have to change your vote, wouldn't you? It's o.k. I love you anyway.
Which brings me to the fact that everyone likes me! I feel so...so...Sally Field! Everyone likes me? Such a sweet thought, but oh, come on... I know, know, know that there are people who check this blog almost obsessively and do not like me. So, either they lied or they were one of the other 50% of readers who not only don't comment, but won't check a box on a poll either!
Now that is some serious lurking! Thanks for playing along y'all.

ROFL, I didn't vote because I was on holiday, sorry. But then, I do comment and occassionally email and I really do like you, so no new inspiration from this place. Interesting results.
Your welcome...thanks for letting us play ;)
To which I must add computer malfunction/ internet lock-up/ child screaming and yanking on my leg (as now is happening) :)/ supper burning and many more in the midst of leaving a comment...now typing one handed, while calming child :) really!
Thanks for stopping by today.
I look forward to reading more during nap time.
Blessings,

You crack me up. :D
Delurking to say...
I almost put that I didn't like you.
As a joke, of course. ; )
I didn't vote, but I usually comment based on time. Some days I just have time to read, other days I can actually say something.
I usually don't comment b/c of the time factor someone above mentioned. Plus many don't allow "anonymous" and I am leary/wary of all the links to/fm places on the net and haven't figured out all the ins and outs of "safe" navigation and commenting whatever that means (I once linked to a site I liked from our family site and discovered my entire blog entry had been made as a comment on the one to which I linked and I just about fell off my chair . . . . I don't want our family's website linked directly to an ongoing and much more widely publicized site like the one I was linking to . . . kind of a forum I guess for a book/author...) So safety (for lack of a better term) to summarize. Also, what I say can't be that interesting to people I've never met . . . though that wouldn't explain why I enjoy reading your site from time to time would it since we've never met! (It's been a long time incidentally since I last visited . . . ). I will say I was very blessed by reading your "story" months (maybe more?) ago when I first found your site. Thanks for sharing it. -MAT in VT
haha. your poll just cracked me up. and i needed that as i am relishing in the joys of potty training.
Very interesting poll, wasn't it? :)
hello,sorry, I was one of the 50 %that did not vote. But I guess I just dont have time, but I read everyday and enjoy it! God Bless you and your Family :)
You have a very nice blog.
I read you profile. You like music like me. My blog is dedicated to classical music. I am waiting your visit. I am a brasilian pianist.
Bye.

I didn't vote, that would be because I didn't check blogs this weekend. It was my weekend on at work, and between work, the family, and church stuff, not much time to surf the web.
You are too stinking funny though. Have a blessed day.
I did vote but apparently didn't leave a comment. :)
I love to read your blog. Then I will read every one's comments before I make mine. When it comes time for me to comment I feel like every one has already said it, or what my first response was just wasn't "OK" for what ever reason.
Well, I didn't vote cause I wasn't here in time! :-) I just found your blog tonight. It's very intriguing and thought provoking. I'm glad I stopped by.
I often leave comments on blogs just because it is encouraging to writers to know some"one" is out there, I think.
