Yes, we need to put the OP date on the thread list page so the relevant people have a better chance of seeing it before re-animating a zombie.

See [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=74645), started in 6/16/2001, dormant since 6/17/2001, re-animated today (7/27/2012) by [see thread to see who (and why)] in Post #9.

Q.E.D.
