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?

Which is why I sometimes recycle specific older posts, like my wish list. It helps me to know that sometimes I get the things i wish for, and to remember to be grateful.

Okay, I'm a space cadet with replying.

ALSO, if the late reply is or seems to be a "Hey, this post struck me and I didn't know how to reply and I thought about it some more and pondered and came up with THIS" then I really like it. It shows an appreciation for what I'm writing that goes beyond the in one ear and out the other feel that a lot of social media has.
