The management doesn't like resurrecting zombie threads; I post to several other forums where it's the opposite culture- the general feeling is don't start a new thread when there's already one out there. Management here doesn't like that because too many people start at the beginning and respond to posts months, even years, old, sometimes by posters who are no longer here. I get that. In this case, the thread isn't really that old and I think revisiting the original reactions are valid.
(Just my two cents.)
