Spore Syringe Shelf Life

This is primarily an informational post about spore syringe shelf life.
I purchased a spore syringe from a reputable source in January of 2016. I intended on using it immediately but found myself distracted and did not touch the syringe for 6 months. The syringe was kept in the box I received it in, partially opened, on my desk at room temperature for 6 months. 5 days ago I decided I would try the syringe out on some brf and verm cakes. All 5 jars have started to colonize and appear healthy at this stage.
I am posting this because the information I have gathered from Google and the Shroomery seems to indicate a spore syringe stored in a refrigerator and older than 2-3 months is likely to be dead. I will post progress as the jars progress and comment on their speed of colonization. I have read older syringes tend to colonize slower.
If there is a better place to post this please comment.

I'm pretty sure spores don't expire, maybe that 2-3 week figure is just to sell more syringes, spores can survive some pretty intense conditions

Apologies for the lack of updates to this thread.
To review:
4 weeks ago I inoculated 5 4oz ball jars with a B+ syringe from a reputable source. The syringe had been sitting on my desk, at room temp, for 6+ months. I presumed the syringe worthless. I had come across information that indicated a syringe stored in this way could lead to bacterial growth in the water in the syringe.
Almost 4 weeks later all 5 jars colonized without any contamination and at a pace similar to B+ jars I have inoculated in the past. They typically take 3-4 weeks to fully colonize. Colonization speed using this syringe seems unaffected.
I will continue to report on the progress of these cakes after I begin fruiting. Because of their performance so far I am not expecting any surprises.

when stored correctly, spores can last a VERY VERY long time.
Spores have a protective "shell" that protects them from some extreme conditions. They last a looooong time.

Some will put dates on them. With dodgy sellers there is no telling when it was made therefore any estimate of how long it will last is a guess. Some headshops in my country had them and obviously did not have a clue about them.
If you bought it from a sponsor here I would expect it to be OK now if bought in january.

That is very odd, I usually see overly optimistic claims on the shroomery, usually longer than I have had syringes survive.
