RedMF40, I am with you all the way!
This post was made before I had posted my reply that I placed in another revived thread that will hopefully deter such willy nilly happenings. I will repeat the helpful tips here for all in hopes we can steer clear of revival of ancient posts that are mistaken to be current.
This is a process I would recommend for viewing threads here with this new software!
1.) Look at thread titles and click into those that are of interest to you.
2.) Find the latest post that has caused the thread to be “renewed” or brought to the top of the forum. If you use the “quote” feature it may not be at the bottom of the thread.
3.) READ THE DATE!! the post was made and look at other dates of replies in the post!
4.) If you feel so inclined, reply to thread considering the DATE and topic.
5.) Maintain awareness of the “Similar Threads” section under each “Subject or Thread” it is likely to contain posts that are
NOT CURRENT!

I am not saying you can’t tack information on to an old post, more power to you. In this case if you read below we have no way of knowing who made this original post.
I really think this forum should do what Red Power does, lock posts after a certain time, my suggestion would be a year. I realize that would not have affected this post, but it would help on ones that are 5, 10 or 15 years old. I think for the most part new posters are better served by starting their own thread as opposed to “tacking” what they want to bring to the forum on the end of an old post.
I was curious why the poster Anonymous-0 has 396,000 some posts, so I posed the question on “Site Comments”
