Every now and then I’ll get a reply to a post I left five or more years ago on a long-dead thread. It is baffling. I can’t even figure out how that happens. My “bookmarked” FR page is the one with the latest posts, so I continually scroll only the latest posts and therefore (presumably) only the latest threads.

...Unless some moron inexplicably posts to a really old thread.

Do tell, but I know how it happens. Some folks will do searches on topics that interest them. They find a thread, and don't bother to note that it's been dead for years, and comment anyway.

I got a response from a long dead thread just the other night. I had to click on my original post to figure out what the heck the poster was even replying to. Even then, I had to read along in the thread for a minute to regain my bearings on the topic. Weird...
