Comment As If You are Continuing a Conversation  

The author wrote that post to communicate something to you, the reader. Reward him or her with a thoughtful comment that continues the thought process he or she started.

 Address the author. I rarely see this but find it useful because the author then feels more compelled to answer you or at the very least notice your comment.

Repeat what he stated to let him know you were listening. And then write what you feel or ask a question.  Be intelligent. You want people to see that you also know what you are talking about. That way they will be interested in hearing more from you.

There is something to be said about being first, just don’t look like a stalker. You may find yourself in the spam folder someday.
