I _thought_ this forum had enacted a new close thread 6 days after last reply policy. So what’s with these two year old threads coming back to life?

Thanks Robert! Yes, looks like that’s the case. Odd that any posts that old wouldn’t be automatically closed given this new policy. Seems illogical and inconsistent to me. Oh well, maybe the “Powers at be” know something I don’t! Thanks again.
