Trolling's stupid in and of itself, but responding to posts from 15 years ago is stupid as hell.

The problem sort of lies with google. They've "re-engineered" the interface for accessing the newsgroups, and deliberately or by mistake now allow replies to old posters. Up till this changeover in early December, you could only reply to messages less than a month old, which makes a lot of sense since otherwise people can be confused about what someone is replying to, and the original posters may no longer be present.

Of course, the problem also lies with the posters who either don't look at the dates of the threads, or don't give this any consideration. Likely they don't know what the newsgroups are, and imagine it as some web-based system where everyone can see every previous message. That works if you read the newsgroups at google (though the changes have no made it much more cumbersome to do that), but not if you read and post elsewhere.

Of course, there's also the myster of why people are replying to old messages now that they can. Why did the guy find the one about springs? He had to be looking through the archive, to almost 3 years back, to April of 2002. I admit to doing some deep searches of the newsgroups, but I had a specific search in mind.
