It would seem that if the topic is important enough to someone, they should start a new thread on the subject, put some serious thought into it to entice others to discuss. Surely, if someone years ago said something that started your wheels turning, lube them with more thought and research and offer more than just a simple reply. Just saying ...

I don't even think it matters if the person is still around. If the topic is interesting, why not bring it back? Yes, you could start your own on the subject, but what difference does it make? I rarely like to do that, but what is the harm? That is the way I look at it.I am looking at the topic of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shiloh357 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 This is why George was for a while, archiving the threads that had been inactive for a while. But the archiving caused a some glitches about the time the site was moved to new servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is here reading it, aren't they? Maybe I won't have seen the original post made 3 years ago, but someone comes along and responds to it today and now I am blessed by it. I just don't see the big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
