Necroposting is a grey issue. There are people who, as mentioned before, literally ignore the entire thread and just comment with something that doesn't add to the discussion, or even have any bearing on it.

On the other hand, I have seen very well reasoned comments, or new information, posted on threads to continue the discussion, only for people to imediately chew the poster out for necroposting. In those situations, making a new thread is obviously pointless because the post requires the context of the previous discussion.

In the former case, I understand those who complain about Necroposting entirely. In the latter, I find them far more annoying than the person who actually posted in the first place, not least since the complaints  kill what might have been an interesting conversation before it even starts.
