You unearthed an eight-year-old zombie, and still got the answer wrong! (You described what I would call a “CC, neat”.)

All you had to do was read as far as the third post for the correct answer.

And worst of all, your reply will fall on deaf ears, or rather no ears at all since that poster won’t ever be back to read it. Frustrating, ain’t it?

In all seriousness, I propose that new posters be barred from reopening old threads until at least a week after the day they join. I wonder if that’s a doable thing?
