Sometimes a "necropost" strikes me as appropriate if the new post is a very good match to the content of the thread (it was only "mostly dead").
More often than not, though, it's not a good fit:
-- same hardware manufacturer, different model
-- same software, different versions
-- out-of-date pricing issues
-- etc.
At worst it's a little wasted time. It doesn't bother me very much.
