Am I the only one who doesn't check the starting date for every thread? I just opened one and thought, Jeez, LEGEND's been re-issued again. Whereas in fact it was the continuation of a conversation stated TWO YEARS ago. PLEASE, if you want to pick up on an old thread, start a new one and just point to the old one. Life's too short for trawling through a lot of stale posts.

I disagree. In fact, I even welcome it when an old thread is re-animated in order to keep all the info on that issue together - instead of having to search for all the information dispersed and spread over various threads.
So I can't help but asking you all to

PLEASE DO Resurrect old threads!

Is that the Health Care Program for practicing Wiccans that was discontinued in the late 1970s?

Thor - take deep breaths, have a beer and lie down in a darkened room. Repeat after me: Ommmmmm ommmmmm

There, that's better now, isn't it?

Oh, I think some of those old threads are amazing, literate, and delightful to read. I don't want them to die.

I agree, there is some unnecessary confusion when old threads are brought back from the grave.

I've always liked coming across old conversations that we've had. Some of those old discussions were great, and sometimes resurrecting a thread will revitalize it.

I'll grant you that it sometimes will throw me when I read a thread that starts looking really familiar, and I check the dates and realize that I had, in fact, read it before, but it's a really minor issue for me.

On the other hand, I'll sometimes come across an interesting thread and be blown away by the intelligence and wisdom of a particular post, only to find that it was I who had written it years ago and forgotten. wink

And, of course, who can forget how cathartic it was to resurrect all of those threads after Guy McKone's death, allowing us to remember him in our own way.

Seems that every time someone starts a new thread covering a previously-discussed topic, someone else jumps in to say that this has been discussed before (stupid!) and that folks instead of addressing the new discussion should go to the previous one, accompanied by the URL for the aforementioned old thread.

Let's face it, you're gonna take it in the neck around here no matter what you do! As for me, I'm with Joan -- love to see the old ones resurrected so that the continuity of the discussion is preserved. Love to see what Chris Kinsinger, Avie Hern or even ol' Andre Lux had to say about it, way back when...

So do what you like, and screw the critics.

It doesn't faze me in the slightest. But some members literally jump at the chance to chastise others for bringing up old threads. Been there, done that : NEXT!
Why they get bent I've no idea, sort of reminds me of the character on The Simpsons - the guy who owns the Comic Book store that is really irratible at others for asking 'stupid questions that are simply beneath him to have to answer'.
Many of us have been here quite a while and probably have seen everything. But keep in mind that there are NEW MEMBERS arriving all the time and haven't had the opportunity to have 'seen everything' already. Go a little easy on these guys folks.

THAT'S RIGHT!

And make certain to give PRESENTS to new members when they graduate from junior status!

Too bad I cannot add a musical theme to this thread ... King of Kings.

I don't know, it sounded pretty fabricated to me. Something a sitcom writer would come up with.

I hope that was written with humor... otherwise it comes off a tad snotty. I will lean toward the former (being super-wise & superior makes this easy for me).
