Must admit I was about to add my experiences of speed reading, as it came up on the "new posts" button.
I hadn't noticed it was 4 years old either.

Sounds like a good idea to lock/delete threads after a while though.

It's the Similar Threads feature's fault. I still like it though.

I apologise. I didn't realise until after posting that the thread was so old, and could not delete my thread after doing so. However, I do not think that just because a thread is old is a good reason to discourage a reply to it. I had a valid point that could be useful . And like others, yes, the reason this thread came to my attention was due to the 'similar threads' feature.

No need to apologize. Anything that adds wierdness to our day is welcome.

And there I was thinking that you have enough weirdness in your days anyway. That shows again that you never can tell.
