Since

0 Hi,02br
00I've been posting here in this forum pretty regularly. But now let's suppose I didn't post for two months. Would I have to say (or would you say):02br

01b00It's been a while since I posted here.02br
00It's been a while since I last posted here.02br
00It's been a while since I posted here last.02br
00It's been a while since I've posted here.02b02br
02br
00What sounds most natural? What would be most common? 02br
00I think the last three are all ok, but I'm not sure if the last is the best of all (and if it is the most common).02br
02br
00What's you opinion? Thank you 050010id1
