Necrothread of the week for sure.

Yes, it’s normally a no-no, but in this case due to the value of the research and continuity of the thread, we made an exception.

Necrothread of the week for sure.

What would the point be of starting another thread, and *maybe* posting a link to the earlier thread, when this way readers can just scroll back from the last post if they want to know the rest of the story? If the information still valid and still of interest, what is "necro" about it?

Websites which are all about entertainment and driving traffic don't like thread revivals because it doesn't show as well on their stats, which they use to sell advertising space. Websites which are about serious research and the sharing of useful information have different policies. It's a bit like building market share through quality rather than gimmickry.

Of course the presence of recognized authorities like Peter Laidler, Warren and others brought many of us here in the first place, but it's the quality of the info which has resulted and the carefully crafted and often improved format which make that information accessible which have made this site the success it is.
