Yes -- short, annoying diary but this issue bugs the shite out of me. Two, three, and more day old diaries are re-published on the front page. I won't link to the most current one because I'm fond of Meteor Blades and don't want to eff up my point.
The date at the top of the diary is current. Only when you get into the comments, if you haven't already read the diary days ago, do you realize it is old. The tip jar remains open for tips but all the older comments do not. I find that a bit obnoxious. Folks who actually took the time to rec, tip and/or comment deserve the same mojo or response as the FP diarist who is getting yet another shot at publication.
Yes -- I'm an old crank. I expect FP kick-back. I'll console myself on Sunday with Kossacks in NYC.
Update: 11:50 EDT. Well a few FPers responded to others -- one to me. And the one to me suggests that the disrespect I suspected is actually contempt. So, thanks for the confirmation that this is the status quo and wishing all a great weekend.
