If an organizer were to make a post titled "Watch this post for notification of any meetups in West Egg, New York," then even after many moons have passed, when the organizer announces a meetup in a comment on the post, anyone subscribed to the post's RSS feed would see it.

I have been testing the RSS feeds of individual posts over the last 12 months, and all indications are that they work reliably.

ADDED. Tonight, as an additional test, I made a comment on an old post whose feed I subscribed to 7 months ago. After about half an hour, the test comment showed up in my RSS reader, as expected.
