…and that he was banned in 2004 :D. 'course since that was a sock, perhaps he’s still around socking it up twelve years later so he can still enjoy your scorn.

1. _You_ may not care about how old the post is, but _we_ do. We request that old threads not be revived without good reason. While we do, in fact, value fighting ignorance on these boards, reopening a 14-year-old thread to argue with someone who hasn’t been a member in 12 years does not fall under the definition of a good reason.

2. Even if this _were_ an active thread, you aren’t allowed to personally insult other posters or tell other people how/when/where to post, so please don’t do this again.

3. Welcome to the Straight Dope.
