<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3813372, member: 112"]The answer to that is usually fairly simple and straightforward. They do it when they first come here because they don't know anything about the forum - how to even use it let alone what it contains. And rarely do they know anything of what forum members consider proper forum etiquette. And even more rarely do they ever realize that the thread they are posting in has not been posted in for years.

Because they simply don't notice the date stamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>All they know is they were searching for something, they found a thread that contained something along those lines, so they go ahead and post there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now then, just about anybody who stops and thinks for a minute, can realize all that and how and why it happened.

[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3813372, member: 112"]The answer to that is usually fairly simple and straightforward. They do it when they first come here because they don't know anything about the forum - how to even use it let alone what it contains. And rarely do they know anything of what forum members consider proper forum etiquette. And even more rarely do they ever realize that the thread they are posting in has not been posted in for years. Why ? Because they simply don't notice the date stamps. All they know is they were searching for something, they found a thread that contained something along those lines, so they go ahead and post there. Now then, just about anybody who stops and thinks for a minute, can realize all that and how and why it happened. But just like the new member who post in a very old thread didn't stop and think - the established members here, well they don't stop and think about what I said above either. So now you guys tell me - who's at more fault ? The new guy who knows nothing - or the established members who know, or should know, a lot ? I know what my answer is, do you ? And no folks, I don't mean that in a bad way, nor am I trying to lay a guilt trip on ya. I'm simply trying to get you to stop and think.
