Over the past few weeks there have been a few occasions where really old (>5 years) threads have been resurrected by posters - often by a reply to a previous post which was clearly very old.
Although there may be occasions where reviving an old thread is entirely appropriate most of the time it will result in people reading old stuff for one or two pages (often without realising) which is not helpful.
If you want to post something new about a subject, feel free to start a new thread and if you think it is helpful, refer to the old stuff with a link or quote.
Helps to keep things fresh.
