Personally I wish I was as organised as you. However I would recommend that you reconsider your thoughts on posting the comment on your blog. Regardless of if people do or don't check back for a comment, your responding back to comments on your blog is more about demonstrating to readers that you are interesting in engaging in conversations. If I am reading someone's blog for the first time and they get lots of comments and rarely responds to any on their actual blog it makes me wonder if they care. I know you care because you always email -- but new readers won't be aware of this. My personal recommendation would be to continue emailing plus paste the comment you email into the comment area of your post. I agree Larry you are excellent responding back to commenters with email.
