If Advogato offered some hint as to how long it's been since a recentlog poster actually read (or, anyway, GETted) recentlog, we would know better whether it makes sense to reply to said poster in recentlog.

I just noticed that it's been a very long time since I clicked through a Slashdot story to read comments, and way, way longer since I posted there. I guess that means Slashdot is dead, in my world. I still read the front page, but now I'm going to start paying attention to whether any of the squibs I find interesting haven't already shown up in other places I read. It seems like there must be some, still.
