I was thinking that I wanted to comment to [livejournal.com profile] marykaykare's entry
about the difficulty of organizing with people who aren't communicating quickly and/or reliably, but the entry was already days old. I don't check my lj for back comments all that reliably and I don't know if other people check theirs, but I suspect that they mostly don't.

I could send an email....but then it occurred to me. I have an lj! I can move my comment into the present where it can have its brief exposure to the world!

So here it is:

I've done a little small scale organizing, and it's indistinguishable from work. As a result, I try to remember to thank people for organizing things. They tend to be surprised and grateful that anyone's noticed.

I would agree that for the most part there is somewhat less interest in replying to older entries. It appears that about half of people I reply to either are not notified of my reply or choose not to acknowledge replies to their older posts. Note, this is only about half. Possibly more interestingly, the more thoughtful ones do seem to be among those who do.

Due to the way notification works, different people appear to get the notices. I used to think that if person A posted an LJ entry and Person B commented, and I wrote a comment to person B, only person B was notified, but now I think maybe this is not the case and maybe they both do, but I am not clear on this.

Some of the ISPs screen LJ email (as possible SPAM I think.) I only receive about 1/2 of comment responses, and if it's a comment to a comment I put in another journal that number can be even lower.
