Your Old Threads/Topics

Do you ever revisit old posts of yours? I don't mean the ones like games or jokes that are never-ending. Nor do I mean the same old political or religious arguments yay or nay that we engage in on a most regular basis wherein you see the same people's views over and over again.

I mean the posts you make that are maybe out of the ordinary for you, or that might have gone 1-4 pages at most before it's end. You maybe asked an interested question or posted a random but intriguing thought you'd had and got several spirited/intelligent responses.

I occassionally revisit old threads and posts of mine, to see if my views may or may not have changed since then. I did this last night and I came across a poem that I wrote back in July 2004. I re-read this poem and it was brand new to me. Not new like I didn't remember it, but new as in....a fresh understanding even of my own words. It was like I was reading this poem for the first time outside myself, as someone else. It was more real to me than when I first wrote it.

Have you ever rediscovered old posts or threads of yours that just made you think about it? Things that you hadn't thought about in ages since that post or had an experience like "yeahhhhhhhh, hm."?
