I reply every time, I think when someone takes the time to review your hub courtesy demands that you acknowledge it! Everyday I check for comments and respond.
I always reply to comments after all we write to get the comments so its great to read them and replying can add to your hub.
I agree with everyone here, all of whose answers I voted up. Courtesy demands a prompt response to all comments on hubs, even those that are of a more innocuous nature. How can you not and leave people hanging like that?
I see that sometimes. When I leave a comment on a hub, I go back at least one time to see what the hubber said in response to my comment. I always feel kind of sad and neglected when it is not answered for a very long time (if ever), so I would not put someone else through that.
Replying comments like you are welcoming guests at your home. So just take care of every commentators.
I try to reply every time. It is great to see there is some intrest in what you write.
I try reply to comments but It's necessary when someone ask a question or have any query on about my hub than I must reply his or her question.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
