   There are millions of ancient posts out there, that did not get an   
   answer at the time, or not a good one.   
      
   The problem is, that you are using the Google Groups interface to access   
   Usenet, instead of a proper Usenet client. And what Google offers you to   
   see is distorted, incorrect. You did not notice the date, for instance.   
      
      
   You are, in fact, accessing this:   
      
      
      
   Not Google Groups. There is an ancient culture here.   
      
      
      
      
   It happens that someone, named "Al Harper", posted a nonsensical   
   question on this thread, on Feb 12. This causes the entire thread to   
   display on top of the Google Groups interface. This made you assume that   
   the Original Post was recent. It was not, it is ancient and forgotten.   
      
   And this mistake happens often to people using Google Groups, so much   
   that many Usenet users filter out, delete, any post coming through   
   Google Groups, as noise.   
      
      
      
      
   For nntp users, the Google Groups link is:
