Quality Post Comments - Needles in Haystacks?

I'm getting so frustrated....!!!

We all know how important post comments are, right? So why do people - and yes, I mean WA members - insist on starting their comments on my posts with "I wasn't going to read all the way through because playing cards aren't my thing" or "I had no idea people collected playing cards!" or "I have absolutely no interest in playing cards, but..." (my site is called icollectplayingcards.com for crying out loud!!!) .....???

Why? Do we not all share the same goal? Quality, relevant (that's relevant) comments on our posts to make outsiders (and Google bots) think that people have landed on our sites as the result of a search for information. Not because they've been cajoled into it.

Please. Please. Even if you've never held a playing card in your life and you're going to comment on my site, please just comment as if you know what you're talking about. Just paraphrase my post, the same way I do when I'm commenting on a post that I have absolutely no interest in... it's what we do here. Scratching backs. We scratch backs. We don't bitch about back acne. We just get on with it.

Sorry for the rant but I've had it tonight. Please just play the game. We don't have to love each others' posts, we just have to pretend to. Please do it convincingly...??? Because all I do when I get a shit comment is I edit the crap out of it. Until I like it. Then I approve it. FYI.
