Unburying Posts
say i've been doing a lot of searching on a certain topic, and found a thread that was discussing exactly what i was looking for... from the year 2006, and it so happens i've some things to add or to comment on on that thread, my question is, is it illegal to unbury such ancient posts? will C&Fers take some kind of offense at seeing some relic from the past? or is it even possible to do that? i've come across a few of such topics of interest from 2+ years back, but so far, refrained from adding anything to old posts... for fear of scorn
Re: Unburying Posts
With something that old, I think it's more
polite to start a new thread and include
a link to the old thread. That cuts down
on confusion for readers.

Nothing is ancient here, the past is just a click away.

There's no anti-Frankenthread law that I'm aware of.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

No, no law, but my Mod preference is strongly with Nano and fearfie. People don't always notice dates, then spend time and effort engaging with posters who are long since vanished.

It's not so much the talking to them as the expecting answers from them.

Re: Unburying Posts
Some people have died over the years too.
Practical solution is to leave a link to the other article in the opening post of a new thread. It is polite, allows others to see the information that might be restated, and allows for a continued discussion.
Would that be a bad rule/suggestion/mod mod? If you look at the number of threads named "test" it is not like there is a problem with duplication of thread names. Mods could hack offending necroposting or possibly find a way to auto hack date jumps, but mention to the posters please do "blank".
I am being too serious
