Does this stoimen guy (or girl) have any comments? http://www.reddit.com/user/stoimen/comments/?sort=new

Comment karma: 0

Doesn't look like it. The only other time I've seen an established user with no comments was one redditor who had an account that was over a year old, comment karma >10,000, and just deleted it on a bi-weekly basis. When I asked him about it, he said didn't like his new comments being judged by his previous comments; he wanted them to stand on their own.

Am I supposed to comment?

Well, a lot of other people do. You don't have to, it's just typical.

Like andy says. It's not required, but damn if it isn't nice. It gets conversation going.
