Don't you think a year and a half after he posted that he's either no 
longer interested, or has long ago figured out a solution?

Just because google lets people reply to messages older than 30 days old 
doesn't mean people should.  That post from August of 2011, your quote 
even shows the date of the original, even had a decent number and quality 
of replies.  There's no reason to resurrect an old thread now.

That said, I have no idea why the previous poster dug up the old thread, 
but he had nothing to say, he just quoted an old post, perhaps at random, 
and you replied to that.

The guy may have been spamming, except he forgot to add his spam.  I ahve 
seen instances of people replyging to old messages in order to spam.
