By the way, which thread are you replying to again?

Threads live when people participate in them.  It takes at least two
people to maintain a thread.  There are many people posting to this
thread, so it must be fairly interesting to list participants, even if
it is not interesting to you.

Personally, I reply to threads, I don't start them.  If nobody else
posts on the topic, it dies.  I don't resurrect threads because I assume
that if nobody else replies to a thread, it must no longer be of
interest.  And as for threads that don't interest me, I simply ignore
them; I don't expect the rest of the list to stop posting to them for my
benefit.  Complaining about their off-topic character just adds to their
length, or creates additional off-topic threads filled with complaint.
