Do you ever suffer from "long thread amnesia" on MyLot?

I enjoy long discussion threads on MyLot. They're often the most informative, or the most hilarious. But sometimes the threads get so long, or carry on over so much time, that I can't remember what someone is responding to.
If you get a comment on an older long thread, or get involved in a long discussion with lots of participants, do you bother to look back over old comments to "find the flow" and get back into the conversation? I actually do.

Sometimes, it depends on how long it is and how much time I have. If I am the joke of the thread, I ignore it and more on. It gets confusing.

@TheHorse 
there'd be times i wish i'd not come here, nor got roped 'nto that "other place" prior. (thanks auntie!!) but then 'gain, i've got to know quite a few good folk 'n learnt loads from other countries. fer me that'd be "cha-ching" 'nough. the rest makes me figure i waste lots 'f time here fer mere sections 'f a penny't a time.

If I have much time, I go back to see the original comment.

I often have to go back and read again.

@TheHorse - Yes, on both counts. I get "long thread amnesia," and I go back and re-read enough that I can answer intelligently when I respond. It has been decades since I have been to Tiburon, but it is a beautiful island! "If I had but world enough and time ..."

@DeborahDiane Literary reference? I just said what came to mind. I wish I had a coy mistress here. I'd probably spend less time on MyLot.

I'll see how it is. For a real worth the read discussion thread, I wouldn't mind reading even if it's 20 pages long. But if I find like it's lacking in depth or whatever, I'll just browse through like tryina choose a DVD movie to watch.

@ihasaquestion Have you ever dropped off of an hilarious thread and returned to it days or weeks later?
