The people who started those 2 year old post ain't going to read your reply.

I reply to people who chime in on my two year old posts.

As you should, unless they are a troll then your way is a good way.

A lot of those posters are still around. I get responses from posts 4 years ago and it’s not sad, conversations can be ongoing.

all posts are fair game

Nah'.

I'm not replying to specific users, rather I'm posting for posterity. I personally like the archived discussions on here, I like reading old discussions on films. It's why I freely bump old inactive topics.

In 2 years people will read my post, reply and I'll never read it. The cycle continues.

I do, but I don't care. Maybe someone will reply eventually.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 3 years ago

This often happens.
Responding to old threads is good, the post might bring up some interesting conversation.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 3 years ago

To add…There are some very old threads to respond to here, one of the oldest was 17 years ago👍

Read much?

[–] Mustang (5571) 3 years ago

Nope. I have responded to ones that are older than that. I don't see it as responding directly to the OP just adding to the discussion.

If that 2 year old was able to write it then I expect them to be able to read it.
