I wasn't trying to slam anyone. I am just such a long time poster that I now pay attention to 2 things before I post a response.
1. Date that the original post was created.
~ I can recall several that new posters pulled back up via search after 3-5 year hiatus.
2.OP count.
~ In this case they joined in 2012 and have 21 posts as of July 2015.
~~ That says to me they lurk at best.
I get reviving a thread can help, but if your intention is to respond directly to the OP, chances are they left the building.
~ There is a thread on USNA, an 8th grader asking questions. It started on Tuesday. 12 replies as of yesterday at 8:37 p.m., but nobody has noticed yet she left the building. Silence from her.
