Sorry for the irritated tone. As Mike said, my biggest problem with 
resurrecting really old threads is all of a sudden people start reading 
the whole thread thinking it's new, and start responding to posts 
thinking people are asking questions that have probably long been 
answered, or making arguments that are long moot (often to people who 
are no longer paying attention to the forum). In short, it wastes 
people's time.

I'm sure you meant well, but do try and read the forum warnings when you 
try to reply to an old thread, it stops you, tells you that the thread 
is old, and offers to fix it by posting a link to the original (along 
with your quoted text) instead of pulling the entire thread to the top.

Thanks
