I think 30 days is a bit aggressive. There are also a number of articles
where a reply after even a year might be useful (e.g. - an article about
Technology Foo is high in Google Ranking and the piece is outdated and
better information lives elsewhere now, thus a commenter wants to ensure
other folks have some idea what is currently true).

No, I wouldn't expect a reply from an author a long time after a piece
is published - but that doesn't *necessarily* mean comments will no
longer have value.

Older pieces can be a major target for spam, so if this is something we
need to do in order to retain sanity from moderating spam, then I'd be
reluctantly +1.

Best,
