OK. So I think I learned some things here but I'm not sure I got the answer yet.

I have learned that the long time members of a forum don't really want old threads to come back to life it seems.

But that doesn't necessarily stop them from doing it. "This is the post" was brought back not by moi but by a certain member who shall remain nameless, ahem...

In that thread (which I did plow through all 23 pages of) I found a reference to a very timely and timeless thread which I did resurrect (I just couldn't restrain myself) and I think a lot of us newbies have had fun adding our own bonmots to the confection. There's some good stuff there.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
