Does it matter if comments responded to are done individually/singularly or collectively?
What is preferred?
I answer each comment individually. I just think it's more personal that way. Then there's the matter of number of comments. I'm not sure how they figure into a hub's grade, but I'm sure they do. I also try to address each person to whom I'm responding. I read too many hubs where the author doesn't address his/her response to a specific commenter; it makes it hard to determine the flow of conversation.
Thank you Shauna. Your idea seems to be the best way to do it. I did it collectively one time recently even tho I may not get that many comments but usually I do it individually. Continue to be blessed!
Great reply. I also answer each comment separately to be more personal and I like this kind of personal touch. Thanks Shauna, for this clear-cut attitude.
Surely, it matters if the person who writes the comment gets an individual response. Sometimes the comment asks for additional information; it would be polite for the writer to address that comment specifically.
When I am the writer, I like to recognize each person who is kind enough to give me some feedback.
Some type of bonding takes place when people talk/write back and forth to each other [even in a comment]. We get to know and understand each other.

Just an idea, but to help improve the fluidity of leaving comments on other hubbers' hubs and returning to read the response of the hubber, is it possible to create a loop that notifies us that our comment has been responded to. I find that after reading hubs, leaving comments and returning a...

How do you keep up with all of your comments on your Hubs?How do writer keep up with comments on Hubpages? Do you write a comment back to EVERY single writer that left you a comment, or do you just write one comment for all of the comments that you receive?

This morning I approved comments and then responded to one. When I submitted my response I got a popup box that saidSomething went wrong, try again later. Report the problem.When I returned to the hub screen, all the comments on that hub were gone.

How to reply commentsI want to reply comments that I had received from various writers. How do I reply to them? The most I could do is click "Approve" or "Reply" but how do I mention the writer's name? Is it @abc or #abc or &abc?
