Like "Yeah! Good." or "Great article. By the way, *self-promoting link*!". It's amazing how quickly word gets around. Oh, and never revisit the same comment thread twice. If someone answers your comment with a question of their own or tries to start a discussion.....to hell with 'em. I mean, regular readers are a pain anyway - they remember your "principles", so you can't flipflop on anything important to get more hits. eg.
