Well done, Steve.

Thanks, Daniel.

Am I correct that there is no way to sign up to be notified about new comments on an article? I also can't find a link on my PLoS profile to take me to all of my prior comments. Am I missing something?
- Steve Koch
Also: Do the authors of the article get email notification when their article is commented on? If not, then I suppose it would be courteous of me to drop them an email? Maybe I should do that anyway? Advice?
- Steve Koch
They do, though it may not be immediate. E-mailing them directly is a nice gesture, though.

Thanks, Bora. I just sent an email to the corresponding author. Now that I've sent the email, it obviously seems like the right thing to do! It seems to me now that I should do this whenever I make a serious online comment or blog post.
- Steve Koch
Usually as a matter of course, I email a corres. author when I leave a comment and for sure, they appreciate this.
- Graham Steel
I think it also takes any sting out of criticism - "I liked your paper and made some comments, hope that is helpful..."
- Cameron Neylon
Steve makes two very important points: sign up to be notified of comments, and a "commenter profile" showing all one's comments. I think both are essential to promoting commenting on articles.
