It's like visiting a place where there is a guest book by the front door. Before you exit, you sign it to leave a note about your experience of the place.
I know that people are visiting by virtue of site
meter, but almost no one leaves a comment.
If you are in a hurry (and who isn't these days?), just leave a "thanks".
Thanks
