Its not a 1-1 conversation, its a group conversation. Not all group comments stick and end up as the next random discussion, but that doesn't mean they weren't heard (read). Sometimes someone says something and the conversation can just continue without a full comment in return. And how many posts have 900 comments? Even the heavy traffic posts I see rarely approach those numbers usually we're talking 100-300.
