A blog becomes more interesting if the comments are not only turned on but the author responds to the comments. I think people like to connect with others online like they do in the "real world." So sites like Boingboing and others that don't have comments enabled are more like online newsletters or 'zines. So it is now interesting that "old media" outlets like Washpost and others now have blogs where the authors sometimes have a lively discussion with their readers. I think this is a big step forward and in my opinion will make these properties more valuable. I fully agree with you.
