		<description>Scott,
I so very much agree with you, that comments are definitely a huge way to build community.  I&#039;ve learned a great deal about this through TSA and I definitely look forward to learning more about you and your work.
Thanks so much,
Adam</description>

		<description>Hey There Scott!

Glad to be coming around to visit your blog!  Boy, can I relate to this!  It is not that I don&#039;t understand all of this info. . . it is a question of time.  I liked your comment in our leaders group to the effect that 20 hours is all you can do.  I am with you there!

Now I feel guilty :) and I need to get over to my blog!  Thanks for the timely reminder!

		<description>Scott,

A true leader is not afraid to show his weakness or share his short comings. This allows others to learn from you even more. You are such a giving leader and a great supporter of the cause. The cause of helping others to see the bigger picture!

I too have been inconsistent in replying to comments. I have been making amends in that department. Thanks for the great lesson!

		<description>Hello Scott,
It is so true and important to reply to comments as a wonderful way to connect with your readers and get to know each other. When I read your title line &quot;Are you wasting time....&quot; I was kind of hoping you found a way to make it even easier/faster to reply to comments - I like highly effect and fast ways of doing things. :)

Thanks for sharing,
Leelja</description>

		<description>Great Post Scott!

I do comment back to my readers, but it is so easy to be &#039;too busy&#039; and waste the opportunity. I am guilty of it. It&#039;s pretty ironic, we shouldn&#039;t waste the connections we&#039;ve already made.

Thanks Scott!

It is funny how we work so hard to  get traffic and then when we get it, we simply overlook it.  You are an amazing new friend... we have such a fun journey ahead of us.

I am amazed at how easy responding to comment actually is and how fast you can build a relationship with a new reader. Looking forward to building an amazing new business with you.
