How do we keep getting really old topics back as if they were new? Is someone out scrolling thru year old problems for tearjerkers to emotionally drain the members? What do they get out of it? There's plenty new to say--why so frequent dead topics?

I just posted a comment on a topic that was almost 2 years old..a plea for help and it was really a sad post...people who are looking at the "You might also like" section..MUST look at dates.....

It is frustrating and even scary,to read a post,start getting emotional about someones problems...and THEN see the dang post is 2 years old! "

" DEAD PERSON:
I'm not dead!
CART MASTER:
'Ere. He says he's not dead!
CUSTOMER:
Yes, he is.
DEAD PERSON:
I'm not!
CART MASTER:
He isn't?
CUSTOMER:
Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
DEAD PERSON:
I'm getting better!
CUSTOMER:
No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
CART MASTER:
Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
DEAD PERSON:
I don't want to go on the cart!
CUSTOMER:
Oh, don't be such a baby.
CART MASTER:
I can't take him.
DEAD PERSON:
I feel fine!
CUSTOMER:
Well, do us a favour.
CART MASTER:
I can't.
CUSTOMER:
Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
CART MASTER:
No, I've got to go to the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
CUSTOMER:
Well, when's your next round?
CART MASTER:
Thursday.
DEAD PERSON:
I think I'll go for a walk.
CUSTOMER:
You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?
DEAD PERSON: [singing]
I feel happy. I feel happy.

" I agree, its incredibly frustrating. Espescially if you get emotionaly invested in the post.

Why don't they get rid of that damn feature. It doesn't do anyone any good. Put a search by post topic instead, and disable posting to it or just make sure the date is HUGE. Hell, even put on the post Fifteen Years Old. "
