...I have never seen a site with so many "resurrected" threads. I have been on internet forums for years now, many of them. And in all these years, I have never seen this many 2-3 or even 5+ year old threads suddenly commented on - and to boot - as if the people who commented are still listening!!
Sometimes people come BACK even after years. But an interesting old thread can be caught by new or newer posters and start it up again. There are REALLY--REALLY a lot of old interesting posts here. So--I guess just pick what you want, new or old and go for it.
Actually the older threads are more interesting. It's a cyclical thing. What's old is new...and all that stuff.
We like to confuse people by encouraging use of the search feature and then chastising the ones who actually use it to ressurect old threads.
