camille65 -> RE: Locking threads for inactivity (5/9/2008 5:47:06 AM)

I have mixed feeling on revived threads. If it is a very long thread begun about a personal problem & somehow gets revived, I get irritated because of the effort being put in when the OP is no longer even here lol. Sooooo many people are told: search out your question on old threads, so in part I see it as natural that one gets revived in that manner. I dislike that reaction to a newbie, when they come in asking a question but only receive the advice of 'use the search button'. I see it, just as easy to type out the known answer as it is to type out the directions for using the search.Searching too can be iffy unless you happen to strike the perfect keywords (which rarely happens with me)
