What is the longest elapsed period between you posting a answer and the OP responding
I ask this question, as this morning I received notice from another site that someone had responded to one my postings. Typically, I ignore these notifications if it is from a site I have not been active on for a long time, but for some reason I decided to look.
It was from the OP who finally decided to respond after over a year had passed. OK, I'm some what used to people sometimes coming back after a few weeks, but they usually apologize with some valid explanation for the delay, but this guy just piped in as though my response was given yesterday. It just seemed weird to me.
Anyone with a similar experience?

I have some where I answered the question and they never responded, but never one that responded that late.

That almost seems the norm in the Office/VBA forum.
I guess that maybe I should reply to the guy and say that I am glad to see that he has fully recovered from him year long coma.

I think he was on a serious bender from moonshine made with fermented hallucinogenic mushrooms. He may be under the impression that he replied BEFORE you posted, not after.
Of course, I'm just guessing.
The longest delay I have seen was about a month, and the person had been pressed for time/sick/their cat had kittens/their cat had puppies/they misplaced their keyboard/etc.

I glad that you got it the intended spirit of this thread of offering plausible explanations for the delay.
I just thought of another one that kind of scares me: He just got out on parole after serving time on a stalking charge.

Perhaps it was his assault charge for attacking a member of a forum who gave him a wrong answer.

That makes me very pleased. Also confused as to why you are typing my name enough for your phone to remember...

Now I not sure who is stalking whom.
Perhaps you are the reason for his phone auto-suggesting your name?
Declaring thread derailed by the dysphoria caused the dclamp-dday9 stalking dichotomy.
