Hi

I was just browsing through some threads and I noticed one that I thought I could help out on. The date of the last post in the thread was the 2nd of October 2006. It got me wondering; it there a limit to the age of the post that you can reply to? Like, if a post's over 4 weeks or 4 months or 4 years old etc.; when does it become too old?

(And is it alright for me to reply to the post I was looking at?) Thanks.

Ive learned to be carefull when bumping up old topics. Just learned the term Bump. I bumped up two by simply using the form and seeing what others are reading If I find a topic I like I respond..... One of the two I "bumped" got locked so Ive learned a valuable lesson for me if it is NOT recent talk I dont say BOO aint wont the aggravation .

I personally don't think there should be a time limit . Lately there was the post about a 2 week old puppy . I'd love in a year or so for the OP to bump and give a report to us . The only time I don't like bumping if it was a conversational conflict and it was bumped to re-open raw wounds.
