Thanking you from the heart of my bottom.

It means posting in a thread that hasn't had a new post in 30 days or more - as in, the thread is 'dead' and you're bringing it back to live with your post. Like a necromancer-post = necropost.

It means posting in a thread that's not been posted in for a long time (weeks, months, years). On AF it's considered a 'necropost' if there are no posts for 30 days beforehand.

Thank you, you pair of worldly wise people.
I had got the gist, but now I know.
Wonderful.

I aim to please.
I just find it funny that people start threads here asking questions that could be answered by Google in <0.5 seconds.

So "funny" that you waste your time replying to a thread that had been answered, just to make that point.

I like engaging with actual people at times. Same reason sometimes I go to the human being at the checkout instead of self-service. That and I might need cigs.

I guess I don't see pointing out that there is a wealth of information at your fingertips as a waste of time.
