They sl...I agree with you about word verifications. They slow down the process and are rarely needed. But the address thing - that's different for me. I leave a lot of comments on the blogosphere and I usually click on the "subscribe by email" option so that I can read possible replies to my comments in my emailer.<br /><br />I'm not really keen on generating more blog-related email than that. Sometimes there's something that absolutely needs to be said in a private mail, and for that, my address is on my blog's sidebar. But I'd find an influx of replies to my comments daunting on top of the follow ups that my "subscription" generates. <br /><br />I have had it set before and found that the vast majority of email replies were simple one word acknowledgments or smilies. So I opt to keep my email address out of the area of my blog which you described. That's why I don't include mine. Sorry, Angie.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209554659260661100.post-41287791354657492752009-06-30T00:14:05.861-05:002009-06-30T00:14:05.861-05:00Awesome!

G-mail accounts are so perfect for that, because if you have G-mail, you can automatically reply to comments via email.

Somehow, it didn't fit into my rant on organ donation. However, it is a nightmare! I haven't ever had it and I think I have had 3 spam comments in almost a year. I do notice that the blogs that have it seem to have lower numbers of comments. <br />Thanks for the shout out. Any day that I am in the same sentence as Vodka Mom is a good day.
