   Hello Jim:   
      
   You and I wouldn't like it if squatters moved in our homes while we   
   were on holiday.  Nor would we say, "so what?" if our cars were stolen   
   because a thief saw it parked a while longer than others.  But we're   
   writing about poor netiquette here.   
      
   It's simply not polite to steal the thread of another.  I'll grant you   
   that Ben made a simple & forgivable mistake that can be undone by   
   starting his own new thread.  His apology is a plus and unquestionably   
   earns him a redo for his good character.   
      
   Are we creating a good example for others?  It shouldn't matter how   
   long a thread has gone without a follow-up.  Someone may find a   
   solution to megaziomek's standby/hibernate problem or wish to   
   contribute meaningfully.   
      
   We need not go back to the law of the jungle here.  Ben will be served   
   if he starts a new thread like we all should.  That's the established   
   norm.

   Civility can also be calling attention to wrong doing.  Chaos should   
   be replaced by order.   
      
   Respectfully,
