I won't be silenced by your "necro" crap.
Yeees, because this way you can start a topic and introduce new discussion without having to worry about the prior context. You can even say "I was reading this thread and saw this particular reply, so I thought I'd start a new line of discussion on it here."
If this is so oppressive that you feel you are being placed under erasure, then I don't really know what to say.
The prior context is critical to this subject.
And there are ways to include that context through means such as the creation of a new thread and effective paraphrase and restatement of opinions that have come before which do not require the reader to sift through ten pages in order to get to your point. You can also choose to cite the most relevant points in the thread without having to worry about the posting history of people you don't recognize. There are advantages to this that make your point more effective!
As it is, you haven't done much but get a meta-discussion going about how and what constitutes proper netiquette when revisiting old topics, and very little discussion at all about the validity of your points. If this was your goal, then bravo, I salute.
