We’re here because you bumped this ancient thread, thus bringing it to our attention. You brought us back to it.

So, thanks for that?

I believe Kimbalkid was speaking of the problem with old threads (zombies) in that when you resurrect one most of the people you are addressing are unable to or have no interest in coming back to them. It’s like arguing with someone AFTER they walk out of the room. You might do better to START YOUR OWN THREAD and then you would be assured that any comments in it were recent and more likely to foster a useful discussion.

I give some advice-- if you cannot read then do not read! Oh, dear! The process of reading is too much for you! I tell you what you do go away!

**stirdontshake** Do not insult posters on this board except in The Pit. Posts like this in the future can result in official warnings.

No Warning issued, but do not do it again.

If I am being insulted then I should defend myself!

This post came through while I was leaving my mod note. You already have one official warning for insulting people in another thread and a mod note in this one.

Tone down your language.

For reference. You can start a new thread and link back to this one with a comment like - I want to discuss this topic that I read in an old thread. You seem to have some problems with quoting and linking but you should be able to master it with a little bit of research.

Users can’t delete threads and the Moderators won’t for the reason I stated above.  
Note: I had to format the ops quote to clarify quote errors

No you should not defend yourself by insulting other posters. You should report the post and let the mods handle it. If you want to debate moderation take it to ATMB. If you want to insult a specific poster back take it to the Pit.

Keep this up and your time here will be very short. Drop it and post in a civil manner.

I could have started new thread on this exact topic. However, it would be fruitless as this discussion can go on and on for ages. I have expressed my true feelings on this subject and I shall not continue reverberate myself. Thank you.

With that, I think this thread has run its course.

Feel free to start a new one if anyone is still interested.
