When I see comments from months ago I feel like it's too late to join in

On the other hand if it was a claim you were going to make, and you found it because it was a duplicate, what option do you have.
I'm assuming it's bad form to have duplicated claims.
Which will be a problem as Jyte ages.

- 14-29 When one sees that one's claim has neither votes nor comments after a few minutes, one should consider retracting it
- 16-2 It is impolite to hijack a claim for a purpose unrelated to the original claim
- 1-16 It is impolite to 'comment skip' i.e. comment on any comment other than the most recent
- 48-0 I would like to be able to mark other people's claims and comments as being important to me.
- 16-0 There should be a button that will link you to all of the claims that you have commented in (as opposed to the current button, which takes you to all of the claims you have looked at, ever, even if you didn't vote OR comment).
Discussion (4)
Commenting on an old claim can often resurrect a discussion.
Reading through old claims is also a way to A) figure out where the furniture is and B) explore jyte while the current crop of claims goofs around with pun claims, two word claims, claim fragments, cliquish claims, and other such generally snoozy stuff. Q.E.D.
My personal usage habits include checking to see if any worthwhile claims have been commented on recently.
sometimes you just want to say something (or to join the discussion) so much, then why not to do it :))
