You're right-- It's a LOT of work. Now I only leave individual comments if I see a need to intervene in what's being said, but I post weekly or biweekly announcements about trends I see on the discussion board. Sometimes I quote individual posts if they help illustrate a point. This shows I'm paying attention, allows me to give students something new to think about, and is a lot less work for me.
