Sometimes I might go to a blog and it's all advertising and a product I'm not interested in, so I don't say anything, but otherwise I try to leave a comment. If you don't leave comments, how are you ever going to meet people? On my other blog, I've made some wonderful friends because of visits and commenting. I always try to leave a comment.

If a system has enough entities and enough tags, the software will get smart enough to figure out the synonyms and heirarchies. It will, however, take a little time.
