They bring up additional points. They turn the "lecture" into a dialog. That adds value.<br /><br />I used to be a lurker, but thanks to one of my readers who always made a point to comment on my posts, I discovered how I could also turn around and be the change I yearned for. I followed his lead and started posting comments on other people's blogs, too. Sometimes, it's just the thing those other lurkers needed. It breaks the dam down and releases the flow of conversation.<br /><br />I like what one blogger did to customize his blog.
