And this just proves that it doesn't matter if the thread is revived with a good argument or with another pointless post. If, after that, people want make their comments, they'll post them, no matter will their posts be relevant or not.



Besides some pointless posts ThirdSight and nobora added their arguments to the topic. Since both didn't quote GkScott's post I understand that they just replied to the OP's question, and because of that it would be interesting to know: would they still post their arguments if GkScott's post was completely pointless, or would they ignore it just because of that?
If they or you really felt that strongly about it they would've started a new thread reviving the issue or found it and posted in it anyway.

So to argue the case that necro-posting brings more opinions to the fore and therefore is something to not be actively discouraged (which is all MMM seems to be doing here) is stupid.
