Yes, yoddo necroed the thread, and then you just could not stand it so you had to necro your own post in the same thread. Way to go, you showed us!
I necroed my "own post"? What post? You also replied after the necroing BEFORE I did, and you accuse ME of necroing the thread?
By the way, why don't you return to the "Transit of Mercury" thread? You seem to be active, so you obviously ran away from your ridicule.
The post you chose to necro was "your post (of choosing)". Did you not realize that you were responding to a post that was made almost 5 months ago? Is that how long you take to respond to phone calls? Emails? Text messages? Now, you people just dig around the forum like poor people at the trash dump looking for anything you can salvage. It must be a shitty life for you and your group.
First off, there are only so many topics. Out of the 100+ threads, there are really only like 2 dozen topics that get rehashed. So rather than restarting and restarting threads, it is more efficient to just revive an old thread to "get the ball rolling". 1+1=2 today, yesterday, a month or a year ago.
Second, I can see why FEers don't like "necroing" threads. Letting valid threads "roll off" is a good debate tactic. I have several old threads that are just as valid today as they were back then. This is why I refer back to them in current posts. But to support the "roll off" debate tactic, "bumping" old threads is considered "low content". You FEers really like this. I "get it".
Typically, you don't see FEers "necroing" threads because there really aren't many (any?) worth doing it to.
So this "necroing" issue is simply a FE debate tactic.
