I think some of my most-researched comment / posts have gotten relatively few replies. The more thorough you are, the less room there is for people to disagree without putting a decent amount of thought in. On the other hand, if you dash out a post without much fact-checking, you'll probably get lots of replies :).

If your comments are that watertight perhaps you should spin them into articles?

Yeah I guess I'm really talking about posts (i.e. articles) more than comments.
