This is one of my occasional lame notes explaining that I haven't posted in a few days because I'm on the road, and probably won't post for another two.

Me too man. I can't wait. My mantra right now is "F5, F5, F5..."
I was thinking it would be cool and weird to post a long story in someone's comments section. People would visit the blog and see the awesome posts of the blogger, then they would mosey into the comments, and see someone else's work.
Would that be considered hijacking someone's website? What if the events in the story correlated roughly to each post? I guess it depends on how good/cool the story is.
I wonder how many second-hand bloggers there are; people who don't run proper blogs, but comment at other's blogs religiously.
I wonder how many blogs there are where people go to read the comments of particular commentators, not just for the blogger's posts. Probably not that many...

These comments aren't archived like the blog posts are, are they?

Yep, the comments are all archived! Which is good, particularly in situations where the conversation becomes really cool.
As to your point, Alfred -- I dunno if anyone *exclusively* posts to one or two blogs as a sort of ancillary-blogging technique, but I know that here at Collision Detection, and at many blogs I visit, the conversations can sometimes surpasss the original posting in quality, for sure. That comment thread from two weeks ago when I posted about "T9's Freudian Slips" is still getting amazing comments -- people adding in new weird mixups they get while using T9.

t9 freudian slips have got me into trouble on more than one occasion :) you still have to stop to check the whole message at the end and that kinda defeats the object to me (I'm just too impatient ;).
