the use of .

As recently mentioned by siderea and started by jackconstantine (whose journal I don't read, because I don't know him), there's a new trend going around used to indicate to someone that you read their journal, but simply didn't have anything to comment. You leave a comment that consists of only a period.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I like the idea of knowing that people have read my posts, but I think I'd get quickly annoyed by the email spam of comment notifications that have no real content.

So, uh, if you do it in my journal I'll know what you mean, but I don't really want to encourage it.

I read yours, too, but don't reply unless I have something specific to say. :)
