As most of you know I work in a software company and I have been doing software in the region of about 12 years. So I consider myself pretty tech and web savvy, or so I believed. Well read on.
I love comments, and I love to leave comments on thought provoking sites and blogs but, whenever I leave comments I never get any response from the blog owners. Well I do but its usually me having to go back to that particular blog post to check it out.
Then I discovered the “Notify me of follow-up comments via email.'’ checkbox at the bottom of the comment box. This signifies the first part of the Duh Moment. So now I intentionally click the checkbox hoping for email follow ups. But there was nothing. I even get a “Comment Subscription Confirmation” email to say that I will indeed get email notifications if there are follow up comments. But still nothing.
Now comes the second part of the Duh Moment. Whenever I get these “Comment Subscription Confirmation” emails, I just delete them without reading them. For the blog savvy folks you are already getting my “Duh-ness”.
Today I was in a long meeting so I got one of these emails and decided to read it. And there plain as day it said:
“To confirm all future notifications for this post, click this link:”
So now for all my blogger friends who have left follow up comments or questions and not received any response, a big big sorry. I will not be doing that any longer. Also some of you might have noticed responses to older posts. Well you’ll know why now.
M embarrassed

That was very funny. I guess you are not alone. Plenty of professionals get tripped up on small issues that they should have known about. :-)
I love your candour to share and help some us noobs to blogging tech learn from your experiences.
God Bless
Haha. At least your duh moment did not cost you a lot of money like mind did! :)
Sorry for the late reply my new post will explain the drama.
Yes we live and we learn from this life the our many experiences. Sometimes we can look back and laugh the wasted opportunities and money but at least we have become "better" for it.
Might be overselling it but thats how I see it.
I'm looking forward to getting more information about this topic, don't worry about negative opinions.
