The ones that would like to post once in a while, wouldnā€™t find that they need spend $15 to post and decide to not visit from time to time. As for how they feel, only they can say for themselves. I know the feeling of burnout though and the best remeady is time away from what burned you out. I concur. This is a good idea. Now somebody go tell little Ed. ---

Nickrz bumped a 5+ year old thread earlier, too. I guess that rule only applies to regular olā€™ members. ---

Hereā€™s a thought, **Silver Fire** : instead of lashing out and complaining about conspiracies that donā€™t exist, why donā€™t you simply report the post? I didnā€™t see it was a zombie thread when I posted, but hey, that happens. No biggie, the thread is closed. See, simple?
