I agree.
searching out these older threads that our fellow BOTL's started, and asking questions in them will encourage some of the FOGs to also contribute to the new knowledge they've acquired
I've seen some threads that have been added to over the coarse of a decade that has everything you need to know all right there.
Plus it's purty durn cool, I mean.. I for one would be humbled if one day someone searched out my old threads and came to me for advice.
But mainly it keeps the same topic in the same thread for easier searches.
Know what I mean thar' Charlie Bear?
