I got called on a "necrobump" the other day, and I just realized what may be helping to enable/cause them. The "Similar Topics" column, is almost tantamount to entrapment. Some of those suggestions go back quite a ways........some as far as the "stoned age"...
And don't get me started about those darn Email notifications from year old threads.
OK, before you say anything. I realize that nothing can be / is going to be done about this. In fact, I'd probably by wrought with guilt if it was. Although, I don't like having to weather the ridicule and scorn that resurrecting old threads can unleash. Oh, who am I kidding, I enjoy it. It helps me keep my edge...
And besides, I'm approaching, (actually well past), an age where you could say something like, "that old fart is living in the past anyway", and have that carry as an accurate assessment....
And by the way, I just broke your "Similar Topics" algorithm's head with this thread title...
