 I'm back on the course of getting my dw comment notifications (email) folder cleared out. Some of the comments have been replied to, and I've just failed to file them. Some though, are there because I had something to say. So, if you get a somewhat random comment out of nowhere, that is why. Today's oldest one replied to was about 6 months old (I think. or 18 months old, if I misread the date).

The are comments in that file dating back to 2013, and the oldest dozen or so all have flags on them that say 'don't file this just yet!!'. Maybe I'll get back to them in the near future, but probably not before I've dealt with a thousand or so others (there are 1819 items in that folder as of tonight. When I started tracking, about a month ago, there were 2126. I've mostly been filing ones previously commented on, which was why it is only tonight that this message has gone out).

The saddest bit was getting to a notification from 2013 from an acquaintance who has passed on. It wasn't anything that needed reply, just encouragement in a support community. But I realised that there were probably several from that person (when I filtered for there, it turned out that there were nearly 50, over three years), and that I really dreaded having to deal with each of those as they came up. So I sorted through, and filed them all, whether I've read/dealt with them or not. And now I'm done for the night. 

I've been having some problems recently with commenting - get 'invalid form submissions'. Originally, I thought it was because I was commenting on things where I'd opened the comment window the day before. Now, I'm not so sure. Is anyone else having this? (and is intermittent problem - one thing on one lj I tried several times, in different ways, one on another worked when I went back and tried again, others I'm commenting with no difficulty)
