Just to be clear there are times when a poster (and this might have been one of them) would want to reply to an old thread. Such as when you want to ensure folks in that thread, who have experience in the area of question, are pinged about your needs via a email.
I think you did your due diligence and chose to reopen the thread. I have no problem with that decision. That said the older the thread the less relevant it will be since Calibre is updated about once a week. In this instance it means that calibre had been updated around 16 times since the conclusion of the thread.
Before I went in discovery of an answer about when the Old Thread Warning appeared I would have guessed the Warning might have been on threads older than 6 months. As it happens it is on threads older than 3 months.
The bottom line is in the future take all of this into account and if you feel it is beneficial to your situation (and sometimes it will be) then go ahead and reply to the old thread.
