But the post I'm replying to isn't several years old. It was posted yesterday.

I wasn't talking about you. You responded to Ishkandar, but Ishkandar was responding a post from three years ago. As Lyonheart said, Ishkandar was a bit behind the times.

Of course, Ishkandar isn't the one who first resurrected the thread, either. Someone else did that two months ago, and I pointed out back then that the thread was pretty useless because three books had come out since the thread died. So, as I said, this is an example of the potential problems when resurrecting very old threads.

Yes, but that post was resurrecting a several years old thread.

Some people avoid retreads whenever possible, others think they're as good as originals. :roll:

Yes, but you should at least be current on the books, before bringing up old material, since often the questions raised have been answered by a later book. I can understand not being familiar with all of the info dumps, and even the snippets for the next book, but LAMA has been out for a number of months, and these questions were already ansered in it.
