What might be cool after a necro-post awakens a long dead thread, if discussion takes off again perhaps a mod could give the older part of the thread a light yellow, pink or blue wash to make it clear where the living 'tissue' of the thread is. Of course, that may be more bother than it's worth in practice.
I would tend to agree. But if you want to answer a question in a long dead thread, why not create a new one? After all, all the people that no longer participate cannot answer questions the necroposter may have of them, and all the people who haven't answered the thread yet can answer, and all the people who have answered can answer again.
My problem is that I get four pages in and then realize that this thread happened 9 months ago.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
