See the post directly before yours ... written over 3 years ago ...

More than 3 years since the last comment and that one was to tell the poster they were replying to an old thread!!
Nearly FIVE years since the last comment related to the actual thread.
Now we get a "me too" newbie adding their insight. When is old... old enough?
---
I sure wish CD would just lock old threads so that (however well meaning)
newbies can't bottom post their out of context questions or add 3 year late comments

Read the old threads? Absolutely.
But when the attempt is made to quote or post a quick reply... don't let it work.

Instead they can get a polite message advising the newbie about the age issue and suggesting
that they find a newer thread to bottom post onto (ha!) or point them to a "new post" button.

Have a sliding scale so the busier and longer threads can stay active longer...
but PLEASE shut them down the rest at some point.

less than 10 posts? close and lock after X weeks of inactivity
less than 30 posts? close and lock after Y weeks of inactivity
less than 50 posts? close and lock after Z weeks of inactivity
and so forth...

Is that really so hard?---
