I'd like to mention that it can get annoying pulling old threads up just to add a comment.
Now, Larry, be nice to the lad.
I think the reason old threads get pulled back up is that the person has had an experience or has seen something like the topic, and it revived memories.
Besides, there are some real gems buried in the literally hundreds of pages of topics, so I say, bring 'em on!!!
There are plenty of fresh topics to chime in on.
Absolutely. But maybe the person has no experience/nothing of percieved value to add to one of those topics. There are many threads here that I follow but don't comment on because I have no meaningful input to add.
Please don't get mad, I'm not trying to attack you, but I felt the first quote was a bit insensitive to a new member.
And lukemon2, welcome to ECN!! There are many fine folks here (Larry is one of them!!)(Oh, was that ever a bad pun....) who you'll learn a lot from!!
