And now for something completely different

Is your intention to resurrect every 20 year old thread until you find one in which every respondent is now dead?

 

I'm actually DEAD, but my spirit is here to Haunt ya'll.......

We all die sometime, @samhexum

[samhexum]

We all die sometime, @samhexum

Couldn't you at least have given me a SPOILER ALERT before delivering such shocking (previously unknown) news?!?

[samhexum]

We all die sometime, @samhexum

 

And I was just commenting on the plethora of 20 year old threads I'd noticed @JoeMendoza had brought up.

 

And I added this comment just so I could use the word plethora.

Beware of Nick is almost certainly still alive.

Beware of Nick is almost certainly still alive.

 

I never suggested that every original poster to this thread was dead. I just asked @JoeMendoza if his intention was to keep resurrecting 20-year-old threads until he finds one where they all are.

I did not think you did, for God sakes. Jeez

no. I haven't been in this forum long, so I just wanna see what types of topics were discussed when this forum started and gauge whether the sentiments shared then have changed now. and nah I just resurrect the ones I find interesting. you do bring a good point though - are you or certain forum members offended with me resurrecting threads that have several posts of individuals who have since been deceased? I can certainly just bookmark them for my own perusing if that is preferred.

No, but I don't see the point of bringing back entire threads/discussions from years ago.

Great to look...not always great bring back to life. My 2¢

Tell the poster who resurrected the thread....wasn’t me!

I'm aware of that.

I’m not offended by it but I do find it annoying. I don’t know why I find it annoying though. I’m sure plenty of my posts annoy people so who cares right? Lol.

If it's a commandment, it should be 'Thou shalt not bump threads that don't interest you.' ????

people will be offended based on who did it among other things. I'm glad you search before posting, it's nice to see what was going on and who was online long time ago and their opinions.

Isn't there a happy medium somewhere? This thread wasn't worth resurrecting-in my humble opinion*!- but some are.

 

 

*That's for mary.

I was posting here 20 years ago, and reading that discussion again was mostly a huge waste of time for me

[marylander1940]

thank you for your kind advice but I'm sure we can all judge our own actions and is nice to see @JoeMendoza searching before posting.

 

Nice catch! Are we in debt to him?

If there’s an issue, and if the admins agree, one option is to have a pop up on old posts that suggests starting a new thread. Having said that, some of the people drawing exception with @JoeMendoza’s actions have frequently in my tenure resurrected threads that had been resting for years...

I don't think so.

Well, I have. We are all here to entertain ourselves, so I guess I don't mind. Confused, huh?

"Searching before posting" has little to do with starting an interesting discussion.
