Do you think maybe it makes sense to change your handling of comments to be more in-line with blogosphere norms? For example: when a comment is entered for one of your posts, allow the comment to be displayed underneath the post (this ought to be a no-brainer). Then if you have something to say in response to the comment, do it as a follow-up comment. This way a coherent discussion thread can develop. Doesn't this make sense? If you agree, but lack the technical ability to do this yourself (? -- you give a hint of this in an earlier post), perhaps you can seek some help in order to get this done.
And along with this you should allow comments to appear right after they are posted -- you can then delete offensive or inappropriate comments later, as you please. Doing this would give a little instantaneous positive feedback to people who post comments.
IMO doing both of these things would improve your site.
Think about it...
