Comments on old posts

I use a modified version of DotComments for my blog's comments and it sends me an email, along with a link to the archived post, whenever someone adds a commnent. Usually it's friends and family commenting on recent posts, but there are exceptions. A comment to my Pearls Before Swine post, for example, came from the (ego surfing?) author of the comic strip that I was lauding; this particular comment came about a week after my post.

The most bizzare long-after-the-fact comments, though, are to a couple of posts I wrote over a year ago. The first one was about planing to go visit a dog trainer and commenting on their web site. The other was about my visit to the trainer and deciding it wasn't a good match for us. Someone (the website's designer) posted a comment more than six months after I wrote the original posts. And then yesterday, another person wrote a (unintentionally) funny and defensive comment to one of the posts.

I'm sure that they found that page because Google brings it up if you search for the trainer's company. But I find it weird that they'd bother with old stuff that noone was every going to read. Of course, now that I've brought it up again...
