In a nutshell...

Og boils blog comments down to their essence.

Remember: The only reason to share little bits of your life with the internet is so that random strangers can tell you that you're doing it wrong.

N is, of course, a variable capable of changing with time.

On reddit.com, one can measure the change of S,W,A & U by following subsequent commenters as they downvote, ignore, or upvote, all previous comments.

Thus in hour 1 after a post, Sympathy might prevail, but in hours 2 to 8 after the post, Disagreement, Angst, Unrelated and other things can rise to dominance or sink to insignificance, too.

N, being a time dependent variable, is as meaningful as the difference in opinions held by Og at 12 years old, versus Og now.

Both are Og, but which is more right?

I have to say that my commenters are invariably polite, on-topic, and supportive.

I feel like such a failure as a blogger ...

That's because you're smart and trenchant. :)

Or you're not as big an asshole as I am. Thanks for the link, Tam!

Well, Tam, we are not exactly random strangers, at least in Internet terms, and you have never hesitated to tell me when you thought I was doing it wrong. I honor you for that, and for allowing me to post almost all of the comments which come to my sometimes-ethylized mind.
