Comments

Yogi Berra once said, “You can observe a lot by just watching”. While it’s hard to argue with Yogi’s reasoning (in fact, it just about impossible to argue with most of Yogi’s reasoning) the fact remains that blogs are designed to be interactive. If Mr. Berra were hosting this site I would expect him to say something like, “90% of the visitors to the MITA Matters blog don’t leave any comments and the other half don’t say much either”.

This blog is now averaging 150 visitors each day. The comments box is a great way to communicate a thought, or strike up a dialogue with folks who are working through many of the same issues related to MITA, MMIS procurements, or the Medicaid systems environment in general. It’s really not hard (heck, I learned how) – just click on the “comments” tag below any of the posts and the comments window will appear. You will have the opportunity to leave an anonymous comment, or use a catchy moniker like “MITA Man” or “MITA Maiden” or “MITA Skeptic” or “Joe MITA” or MITA Maniac” or, “Please take me off your d@#m mailing list”. Simply type a few words in the comments text window and hit the “Submit Your Comment” button and voila! You have just posted a thought that will be pondered by hundreds of your peers. You don’t need a username or password and the posting can by totally anonymous if you choose.

To view comments, you may have to scroll up in the comment box as the text box appears first, and is at the bottom of the window.

The point is that observing is fine, but participating will make this blog much more valuable. So go ahead…(queue Schwarzenegger voice) Do it Now…Leave a comment Now…I’ll be Back!
