I don't know scottgem.
I'm not against answering a post from even 2 years ago if it is thoughtful discussion. Check my posts and you'll see I don't do that often, not looking to pad my post count. I have ignored, for example, posts for homeworks from a long time back that were never addressed.
But if this were simply a forum intended to help the person who posted, and only that person, we'd just PM our answers and not post them for others to see, think about, critique...
Nothing wrong with discussing a topic when the original poster may be long gone, as long as the thread remains thoughtful and relevant. Just my opinion. Not everyone checks new posts everyday.
* scottgem pm'd me with a good point... that posters will get email notifications about the thread. Easy to see how this could be annoying. Good point. I'd still have done the wedding post, but good point to keep in mind. *
