I didn’t notice.
However I sometimes get replies to something I said on very old threads too. The people will make some stupid reply and I respond and never hear from them again. Usually the person has little history if any.
It’s kind of creepy that these people are out there reading old threads. They’re like stalkers or something.
It’s unusual that a thread so old is noticed. I just happened to click the link

and that was the first thread on the Google link.
