How old is too old (LJ-wise)?

[drwex]

How old does an LJ entry have to be before you decide it's too old to respond to?

Sometimes I don't read LJ for several days and can find myself going back nearly 200 messages on my friends page. That can be 3-4 days and I sometimes hesitate to comment on entries that old, feeling that it's no longer relevant or the person/conversation has moved on.

What do you, my friends, do and what would you have me do if I find an old entry of yours?

I'd want you to respond to it.

I figure sometimes people get busy and can't catch up on LJ for a while - certainly happens to me, especially now that I'm in the game. Or someone new might find me, and go read my older stuff - most people wouldn't bother, but if someone does, I'd love to get comments.
