That this is a revived thread was noted before you posted.
In this case, revived by a New Member/poster, who reacted to the thread, without concern for age of the origin.
Some of us had decided to acknowledge this new member's post, regardless of the older part of the thread, on a topic which is elemental, continuing and applicable to the riding dimensions of cycling.
Decorum... in this case decorum might certainly be adding personal view and considerations of cycling in the realm of personal challenges. Especially for a New Member who might not be totally clued into 'convention'.
Are constant reappearing threads on resurfacing topics - "which saddle/bike/bar tape/fit/stem length... yadda yadda yadda... for me"... any more worthy than a revival of a topic which actually affects many and is well served by multiple views?
Decorum - might be ignoring threads which just don;t interest you?
Ride On
