What people don't sufficiently appreciate is that when a person posts a comment on your blog, it's generally an enrichment of free user generated content.
Again: comments are free user generated content, that expands, enriches, and improves your blog. In fact, I'm so extreme on the conversational aspects of blogging, I often say that the comments are far more important than the posts I write.
Ideas need reaction, tweaking, debate, opposing views, criticism, complaints, corrections. Negative comments are typically far more valuable than flattery and praise.
