someone is already doing that, replying to years old threads and bringing them to the front page. I learned to look at the original posting date before clicking on any!

If I'm searching and find something I love, It doesn't matter to me how old the thread is: I will often post a comment- especially if the thread didn't get the attention it deserved the first time through. From personal experience, it feels really nice to get an encouraging post after a long time - so that's why I don't hesitate to do it for others.

I tend to follow links from here to there and sometimes I'll go ahead and post a response before I remember that I was following an old link. If it's new to me, chances are it will be new to some others, too. Sometimes a flashback is a good thing, especially if it's a beautiful quilt that someone made. I don't get around to reading QB every day, so perhaps I missed something, and your rehash might help me catch up. I don't think of QB as strictly following a time line. You can browse by topics or quilt types and turn up all sorts of good stuff that is quite timeless.
