I'd be more convinced by this argument if they were reviewing my more recently-posted fic.
I understand the need to sort out the wheat from the chaff (I read stuff in a number of fandoms where the chaff has enough of a stranglehold to appreciate it when that happens).
However, most of the forums where I've seen this happen, don't tend to bother to go back to the stories that have been around since before dirt was invented in that fandom. They start at the here and now and move on.
The existence (or otherwise) of reviews of my fic don't bother me. I just don't get the point of starting with stuff that's been around so long.
Unless we're preparing for a big influx of Jack & Daniel fans into the fandom when Sci Fi start airing season 1 episodes?
