Current responses to "old posts"
#21
I look through the Archives all the time. And, sometimes I comment on something that I think others who may not have been quiltboard members at that time, may enjoy seeing. I also am hoping that the person who originally posted the picture or thread will see and know how much I appreciated their effort to share.

First of all, what is a curmudgeon? And second of all, I have found the older "revived" posts to be confusing. I don't always pay attention to the dates. I joined the Quilting Board in April 2015, and so from the perspective of someone who is newer, I really appreciate the older posts, because they are new to me.

So, I am confused. Is it a bad thing to post to an old post? It would seem that even if it was old, but had some interesting information, others might enjoy it too.
I may be one of the people who posted to an old thread yesterday. I made a comment on the gentleman who did a tutorial regarding cathedral windows. I thought he did a remarkable job and even though it was an old post I thought that he deserved kudos for a job well done. If someone hadn't of mentioned his thread regarding his tutorial, I would have never started my new project making one.
Additionally, I am embarrassed to say, but I had over 2100 unread messages in my inbox and was cleaning my inbox out yesterday. A lot of them were from the Board and I was reading them and commenting on some of them like they were new. Sorry, if caused some confusion.

Mac, I appreciate that you did that because I am very interested in making a Cathedral Window coverlet, and I learned valuable things from that tutorial.

The only time that (I think) making a comment on an old thread that sometimes can be awkward is when it starts out with "My ____ is very sick, please pray for _____"
And someone makes a comment (without reading the whole post) to the effect of "I will pray for ________"s recovery."
but four pages into the thread the original poster says "______ died."
Although - in my opinion - it is okay to send kind thoughts to/for whatever/whomever forever.
