It's not your fault. I think it also comes from the fact that some (many?) of you guys knew each other before either via LJ or pre-beta days and there are... traditions I guess. And personal preferences too, of course. So it's like an automatism if that makes sense.

Edit: reread your comment as the page reloaded it and I wanted to clarify something. It's no so much 'encourage' as 'welcome': discussion wherever it takes place is welcome and will get a response, even if it can take some time depending on the mode of communication. Also related, it feels like some info bypasses (edit: not the right word but at least correct grammar) official DW comms entirely, which I've always found odd, and thus preventing comments from happening there because there isn't simply anything to comment on.
