Here's a suggestion
I noticed that some of your readers post comments only when you blog about the "Windows OS". (I am doing it now to convey a point here)

My family member watched Oprah show yesterday, and mentioned that the topic was about "rude behavior". Funny thing is that in their poll 80% of the people believe that rude behavious is a national problem, but 99% of them that they were not rude.

I can bet you will have at-least 75-200 comments (with some/lot of 'rude' comments from small group of people that don't use the product or have strong disliking towards the company) on this blog post, but want to be proven wrong.

Here's something you can try - Try to do some blogpost without mentioning 'Windows' or 'Vista' or 'Windows 7' in your title and the first five sentences, and then see how many people provide comments.
