Mod Hat — Necrophilia note
Thread necromancy is rarely useful. One demonstrable problem with thread necromancy is how often old threads are revived for stupid reasons by people who can't be bothered with basic decency.
There are few good reasons to revive a thread after years have passed; reviving a thread just to foul it is antisocial, a rude and disruptive manner of being seen pissing on everyone else's contributions. And in cases like this particular thread, which seem dubious enough at the outset, there are some people who will try their best to make something useful out of it. Reviving a thread like this for the sake of being seen is worse than useless. And, yes, we understand, sometimes that's the whole point.
In a house at R'lyeh, this thread could have been left dreaming.
