Lots of old threads come around again because someone searches for a topic and comes across a thread that they find helpful and need to ask a question or make a comment etc. I know I've done it.

So long as people aren't bumping them up randomly for no reason, I think it's harmless :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
