Default Why reply to OLD, OLD post????

This is getting on my nerves.

Geez folks, why the rash of people REPLYING to 2, 3, or 4 years old post? I'm glad whenever people use the search function before asking a question but chiming in on a thread from 2009 seldom illuminates any particular problem and frequently is only obliquely related to the original post! ("I have a leak too, but it's not my coolant, it's my oil. Any ideas?" Sheesh, I bet it's not your heater core, like the other 10 posts were talking about).

Please, keep it fresh folks.

Thanks, I feel better now.

I revive (Necro-post) a lot of old posts but usually it's to update with photos, part numbers or better "something" to help anyone coming along in the present. That or to post a possible answer to the thread that due to me researching, then reading the whole thread find it's never been answered.

BUT, if you run across spam, incorrect info or anything you feel really doesn't belong use the button to report it to the moderators so we can take action on it. Someone who comes along three years later saying they have a leak too but it's a different fluid ... I'd delete it or move it to the start of a new thread without any problems what so ever.

Especially spam or non Volvo advertising, I love deleting it and booting the poster
