It's probably not the same people doing both things, but its like you can never win!
When someone bumps a thread and says "Hey, I was just thinking about this topic the other day, and so I searched and found this...anyone have anything else to add?" we don't think that's weird, and probably would not point out the age of the thread.

When someone quotes the OP (original poster) and tries to give them personal advice, or, better yet goes off on a complete tirade on them, then we think the person is weird and point out the age of the thread, and the fact that the OP probably doesn't care about "Does Chi Zeta at Billy Bob U haze?" because they probably have their PhD by then.
