When Rob's denominator post got an insane # of comments (just topped 650 at last count), I thought well, that's what happens when you raise the red flag before Poptech. But I just noticed his ice post also has gotten over 150 comments which is pretty impressive. So I got curious as to how many comments each author gets to their blog posts on average. As it only took a minute to write the code to check this, I created a little stats page:
http://www.skepticalscience.com/stats.php?Action=authorcomments
I'll post some of the list below but a few comments first. #1 Tony only posted one blog post (The 2nd law of thermodynamics and the greenhouse effect) as has John Brookes (Hotties vs Frosties?). So for Rob to be up there with 204 comments per blog post is pretty impressive and testament to his creative style that engages the reader (something we should all endeavour to do):

Note: I did think about developing an "Engagement" metric, a function of # of comments per blog post and the # of blog posts. I also thought I seriously need to get a life.
