Hey I have asked , and the site chooses to run it this way, so I guess they have their reasons ,as they did not explain.
If it seems odd to you and I believe me plenty of other people think the same thing.
I have answered quite a few real old ones not realizing how old they were .
I see the good in some old technical threads , but by far not all of them ,especially ,when someone is 1. looking for a rifle or scope or reloading equipment or any type accessory 2. Looking for advice on where to hunt in a certain state .
After 1 or 2 or 10 years they have purchased the item or have been back from the hunt for years, and we are asking them how they did.
