No, I was genuinely curious. My way of accessing this
forum/newsgroup/mailing list doesn't give me a way to respond to very
old posts but others seem to do it every now and again. I see now that
if you're looking at an old thread in Google Groups (rather than e.g.
the python.org archives) it makes the thread seem more like a forum
than a newsgroup or a mailing list so that it's easy and seems more
natural to respond to old posts.
