"Do bloggers need comments?"

"Do bloggers need comments?" my friend asked when I asked her to post a comment on my blog.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?"

"Yeah, I don't know any bloggers... I'm the blogger that I know."

"Ok, so do you need comments?"

"I don't know. Need is such a strong word."

"Yeah, OK... do you want comments on your blog?"

"Umm... I think so, yeah."

[So this author asks you, do bloggers want comments? Or are bloggers too self absorbed to care?]
