For those that only read titles, they miss the point of AR to learn something or be entertained. I like to leave genuine comments, sometimes a comment to just to let them know i was there. Many times you can learn more from comments than the blog itself.

I'm a #1. Rare for me to comment as I just don't spend much time on AR anymore. Been here since 2006. If I had been a #4, I would have over 2 million points (wink-wink).

Ha Ha well quoting one of my friends "it depends" and he knows who he is:)) seriously it really depends if I love the post I comment accordingly. If I disagree I either become argumentative or I promise to write a counter post... either way I have found I have alienated the person either by my comment or when I wrote my thought out respectful counter position... and on Holidays I might be a Robo Commenter to my 515 followers:) Endre

I gotta be me - so over the years I have been all of the above choices except #4. In addition, sometimes when I have nothing to add, I'll simply "like" a post without commenting. It's kinda like -- hey, I was here, I want you to have some extra points - love ya, mean it.

Genuine. I have often heard how someone can make their 20 comments in such and such time. I am amazed because it take me so much longer. Then I see a comment from this same person and it has virtually nothing to do with my post. Confussion cleared on a couple different levels. Mark

Ouch! Okay - I try to read a certain number of posts each day because I think there is so much information shared here and I have so much to learn - but then there are days when I know that I should be doing something else that has a higher priority in work - but I want to participate here in the Rain so I run through and make superficial comments just to kinda say hi and to be supportive - In my own defense - I see that there are days when other people whom I like and respect are doing the same thing. And when we do those new listing posts or market reports, it's kinda nice to get one or two comments - Everyone likes positive reinforcement.
But yes it is funny when someone wishes you a quick sale and your post is about how it closed last week and the seller loves you.

I'd say, depends on the amount of time I can be here and a blog itself. For example, when you congratulate on a new listing or welcome a new member, comments are more or less similar.

It depends on the post and my goal. If I'm going for the points and have a limited time, I'm a serial commenter - no doubt about it! Quickest way to get the points is a copy & paste answer based upon the listing blog type. I don't feel bad about it, because there are several of our compatriots here who do the same exact thing! I like receiving them too, because I understand them. Plus, how many times can you say "great listing, thanks for sharing and best of luck" before you say copy & paste to the rescue! Yes, I actually used to type my comments each time. What I dislike is when someone actually STOLE my comment and started using it! That sucked and I almost called them on it, but I just changed mine up instead.
On the flip side, if I am reading a blog like Endre Barath, Jr.'s "Welcome Tom D..." blog, I am a genuine commenter. I read the entire thing and I make one (or more) comments to add to the conversation.
I guess it all boils down to the blog type. If it takes 1 mintue to write the blog, I don't expect to get anything other than a copy & paste answer. If it's something that takes a long time to write, I expect to give a genuine answer.
Kind of like this question. A real question gets a real answer. The student questions... yes you guessed it... I have answers saved in a text file for them. Copy & paste.

I'm a number 1 but I also try to pull something specific that I liked from the post and comment on that. On Q&A, I often come up with something smartallecky. Is that a choice?
I'm watching to see if anyone admits to being a #3, #4 or #5. LOL

I intend to expand the conversation or propose a differing viewpoint.
Those insecure in their knowledge may find my comments argumentative.
One poor soul evaluated my responses as being contraian. "If it is black, I'll call it white."
Without exception, those without fabric will suggest I am argumentative.

Everything but 4. Most of the time it's 1. But I must admit I have skimmed and commented on points that stuck out to me. And I have made at least one comment based on the title. And sometimes when I'm feeling too much like a sheep, and I read a post that definitely has two sides and all the comments are simply agreeing with the poster, I will take up the "other" side just to keep the universe in balance.
