ZOMBIE THREADS
My objections are for practical reasons: Many of those old posts have multiple pages and it's frequently a waste of time to drill down to find the message or messages relative to the new additions.
Starting a new thread brings fresh ideas and people into the loop and it's easier for new BF members to quickly find solutions rather than digging through all the old stuff that may have been frequently side tracked or hijacked.
easyupbug There's not much in the way of published protocols on BF, we're mostly a polite and self monitoring group.
BITD on the old
rec.bicycles.tech newsgroup and other forums, one could find themselves mercilessly FLAMED for bringing up Zombie Threads.
BTW, Google is a good place to search for BF information because it not only lists topics but also the time line so there's no guessing about Zombie Threads.
In closing, that polished 105 crank looks really nice... But start a new thread. You can always put a ling in for a old thread or message.
