And you just had to reply to a 16 year old message?
Google isn't usenet, don't think that what you see at google is what we
see over here. Google still hasn't fixed the bug that allows replies to
messages older than 30 days, but that doens't mean people shouldn't show
common sense and not reply to older messages. I can't even figure out why
you were scrolling back 16 years, or what combination of search landed you
on this old message that you just had to reply to.
