Old Threads

I watched this:

and was infuriated that the description was completely useless. Between this and the chopped Metro, I was very frustrated trying to find out more. I finally found details here: Cop Pulls Over Undercover Cop. The deputy stopped the off-duty Major for infractions that were not actually legal. This video was from 1997!

Then there was a big argument about which of them behaved better than the other.

Anyway, I found these comments amusing:

You know this thread is 5 years old right?

I've really never understood the obsession some on this forum have for the age of a thread, as if once it passes a certain arbitrary time limit, it's off limits from that point on. Who cares how old it is? If someone wants to comment on it, or ask a question about it, what does it matter?

Its not specifically this forum, it is every forum. And you can't win. If you start a new thread then someone will post a link to an existing thread telling you to use the search button first.

I don't care how old it is, and I'm not the search button Nazi (honestly I've never used the damned thing) I thought it was a new topic, then realized I couldn't watch the youtube vid.

Where do people find these threads?

With the search button.

This has been done before. Can't you search?

You want me to search for a discussion on old threads? Then you or someone else would harass me for reviving an old thread. Did you read the comments? I just found them to be humorous.

You get it either way. Someone had to harass you over the harassment opportunity that you didn't dodge. Today was my day.
