yeah it's not yellow because it's aged, it's discolored from something else. i'd like to know what that something else is.
i've had old stuff like that and it didnt yellow. i wonder if this is f smokers.
I've heard some white plastics can turn yellow by being exposed to sunlight

Yep, that's indeed what the date says.
...and?
it's almost 5 and a half months ago. we've moved on from that post.
people shouldnt reply to old shit.
that's your 'and'
Maybe they hadn't seen it yet. Not everyone reads Dove-Net every day.
There are people who might not read Dove-Net for months and then check back.
I'm wondering why it bothers you so much?
it's good msg network etquette to update your msg pointers and not reply to posts that are many months old.

Well that's definitely not true. Reply to messages that are interesting
and relevant, simple as that. God didn't come down from the heavens to

just making up useless etiquette rules where none exist.
update your msg pointers so you dont necro post.
Yep. If someone wants to talk about a particular subject, would it be better to start up a new thread, even though it has been discussed before?
And if you're just looking for information, a forum search is often a good thing to do, as there might be an old thread that can provide some useful information.

I don't think necroing an old thread is bad as long as there is a reasonable probability that the people originally involved with it is around, though. Maybe it is just me but I don't feel assaulted by necros or anything :-)

i think it really shows a flaw in the synchronet interface.
when a new user gets past the application i think it should ask them if they'd like to update their msg pointers.
almost ALL the time, when a new user replies to old msgs they are doing it by accident. these msgs are new to them, but not new and they dont realize it until later.
i've done it myself.

Each sysop has the option to set new users' message pointers however they li via SCFG->System->New User Values->Days of New Messages. I think the default value is 30 (days).

Actually, this is somethign I have actually thought myself. Synchronet would benefit if there was an option for having the message pointers automatically set upon the registration of a new user. Right now, a new user that registers ends up having thousands of unread messages to check, onyl a small fraction of which are current enough to be worth checking.
