Do you check your own older MyLot posts for unanswered comments?

I do occasionally skip back through a few, normally when the site seems quiet. There seem to be some that sneak past me despite how diligently I monitor them.

@Asylum That's a good idea. Do it when the site is quiet and there's not much else to do.

@TheHorse I did go through a lot of my very old discussions last year, but very few of the original commenters would still be here.

@Asylum Right. I was thinking more of posts that are a few days old, rather than the "really old" ones.

I'd say I'm on top of all my discussions - but then again, I don't have too many discussions/responses/comments to keep up with...

I always try to do a post a day. I think it gives me one more thing to look forward to (new responses/comments).

@sishy7 If you want, I can go looking through some of your posts and play a game of cat and mouse with you?

If I find any comments you've missed, I will talk to them first and leave you some kind of note with the raspberry guy in it? Just a suggestion, of course...

It is true that until I got a grip with the notifications there may be some that I didn't respond to. The other thing I like doing is going back to people's older discussions and responding to them.

@TheHorse To my mind they are as valid as new ones, clearly a discussion about Christmas gifts is not relevant.

@pgiblett But the one about Christmas gifts are more fun because you already know you aren't getting anything discussed there, but you can harass the thread owner by implying you MIGHT find some gift forgotten there that was addressed to you, right? LOL! I don't go to old discussions... Where is the fun in starting at the beginning and pretending nothing below the post you are reading/responding to has been written yet? Just because it makes it feel like the entire post is happening right then and you are joining in as everything happens, that is no reason to go find something interesting and posting on it, is it?

I do it sometimes, but not nearly as often as I should. I really need to catch up on replies to the two I started this week, but instead I'm thinking about making another post.

Sometimes I'll do it before I post on a given day. That way, I'm not concerned with responding to comments on my most recent post.

I try to check older posts to see if I missed any comments that were left. Some are so short that they don't warrant anything more than a like. Even so, I try to at least like the comment, unless they comment is totally off what the subject was.

I work from my notifications first. If I have time, then I will check out new discussions. I rarely start discussions of my own, so I do tend to forget to go back and check to see whether or not there is a new comment or response. Of course, if I have recently started a new discussion, then I will attend to that before going to comment or respond on something new.

I do like to reply to all responses on my posts, and visit all their authors - yes. I keep a list of all my posts stats so I can see if there are extra responses on them - it saves me opening them unnecessarily.
