I do see the use of resurrecting an old topic, though it's still debatable, but only in the rare case
- when you started it yourself
-
and when there is no recent topic on the same subject
-
and when you have something new to say or it makes sense to continue the discussion
-
and this new post is not directed to one person in particular (pm would indeed be better)
In any other case, I think it's not done to resurrect old threads.
BUT when you ask something politely, I think you deserve a polite reply.

Now I respect your hard work, Fifth_horseman, and I understand this is probably meant humorously, but some people may find this offensive and out-of-place. It wouldn't be in reply to questions like "JJEEZZ, LINK NO WORK, WHAT MEAN ESA, *dirty word* ASSHOLES, WANT DOWNLOAD NOW", or if someone was resurrecting plenty of old topics on purpose, but in this case, I think you could have said it in a less offensive way.
