Actually, I check my VMs everyday and respond to several throughout the day. It's the way it's set up see, it shows the most recent 5 at a time for me and I'm usually at 70-80 VMs at once. I can't see things from January 15th, December, etc etc! I just happened to stroll by your profile recently, haha.
I responded to loads of people after an hour to get it down to 30 VMs once and within 48 hours, it was back up to 70. xD;
