when you post on a thread, it automatically jumps to the top of the list, regardless of age. of course we saw it.

the reason it is frowned upon to re-open older threads is because in any given community embers will often leave after a time, and when yu resuscitate a thread odds are a few of the people originally involved will have left. in order to avoid that problem, it is better to create a new thread on the same topic.
