I don't quite understand your thinking here, to be honest - your post really wasn't there that long, especially considering how quiet lj is these days. Some people take much longer than overnight to be able to respond to posts, even if they've been able to check lj and see them. I know, for example, that sometimes I do a quick lj-check first thing before work, but usually don't let myself try and comment until I've finished for the day - which might mean that I don't have time until the day after. It was sheer luck that I replied to you so fast!

Replies to my posts come in over days, or even longer (and I'm happy to hear from everyone, even if they've taken weeks or months - and sometimes years! - to reply). That's the beauty of lj over Facebook or other blogs - there's no time limit for commenting or anything. I could go back to the start of your lj, for instance, and have fun browsing through your posts, and commenting on the ones I like, even if you wrote them years ago.

Lj lets you make a post and then just leave it there for people to respond to in their own time!
