I realized recently that I haven't been responding to comments on the site -- that I respond to them via email, and had been doing so for some time, thinking it was the "polite" thing to do.
Then I thought about how much I enjoy going back to blogs that have "discussions" going in their comments sections. And realized that I wasn't fostering that kind of discourse here.
So, my apologies to everyone who's ever come back to see what the answer to a question in the comments was. From now on, I'll be responding to posts here on Gastronomie, instead of via email.
