I'm much more likely to comment than post. Sometimes I wonder if it's a confidence thing. I can usually compose a comment that I think would be interesting to one or a couple people following that thread.

By contrast, a post is more like an announcement. I rarely have ideas or links that I'd consider worth announcing to the world that aren't things more appropriate to post to my friends on Facebook.

I don't think either is a problem - more annoying are commenters who comment solely on the title (or, even better, comment based on a failed reading of the title).
