When you visit someone's MyLot profile, do you read their most recent post? Or...

When I visit someone's profile that I haven't visited for awhile, I tend to visit their most recent post first. Maybe it's because I'm lazy.
I've noticed that when I hear from someone I haven't heard from in awhile, it's often not on my most recent post.
Maybe they stumbled on my post "off to the right," or on some list. Or maybe they scan my "fairly recent" posts for what's most interesting to them.
Do you have a "strategy" in this area?

All of the above, but usually see how many I missed if I follow that person and have I been busy when they generally make a post.

It is difficult to keep track of all friends. Especially as older myLotters, we have so many. So I tend to do the butterfly dance...go to a post and poop in their boxes. Then, if I feel I have not been to their profile, I go to profile and check a post or two that interests me.

Nope. No strategy. In fact, I rarely visit profiles.

Yes, I usually read their most recent and comment on that. Is that a strategy?

@TheHorse Yes, it makes a lot of horse sense! I actually also do that at times.

I should use a different word, since I'm really referring to "what comes naturally." I just checked. I visited someone's most recent post, made a comment, and then visited someone else's post who had also made a comment on the post I had commented on. Does that make sense?

You do? Do you ever have any luck responding to posts like that, vanny?
I think we should try dirtying one of pony's discussions. Do you think he wants to have some fun, too?

I have noticed that you read some really old posts of mine. I generally read the newest I find.

@JamesHxstatic Is that a reference to a popular song from several years ago? Or your political leanings?

@TheHorse Yes, I do run across them and read some, though I am "to the left" usually.

Since I'm here almost every single day I don't visit anybody's profile. What I do is I go to the people I follow's discussion. I am lazy too like you.
When I'm done with them, I go over the most recent discussions.

@TheHorse I don't always post when I visit mylot. So it's always the notification for me first.

I often wing it too. Right now, I'm looking at/responding to comments I missed on this older post. Right now, I'll see what your most recent is, then I'll come back over here after "observing" what I do naturally (without thinking about it).

@thedevilinme Heh. Right now I'm getting miffed with serial posters who say little in their posts and comments.
