You realize this is five years old and some of these people could be

It might be nice to resurrect threads on websites that simply copy
Usenet but have no content of their own, but to respond to it on
Usenet is not nice. Some people get ****ed off.

Threads about a fixing particular piece of consumer electronic equipment
tend to be old.

If someone has *new* information to add, like "I fixed a similar problem
with the same unit, and it went like this" it's perfectly fine;
there is nothing wrong with referencing the old thread.

Look, you're just not going to find a current, continuous, day-to-day
discussion thread on a darned Sherwood RX-5502, right?

But if you start trying to help that person from seven years ago by
asking questions, like "does the front panel light up, or is it
completely dead?" then you're indeed a necroposting moron who annoys
people, and probably shouldn't be using any device that has a CPU
and network connection.

Some people pull up **** from like 1991. this was even here in 1991 ?
I mean, some cars still had carbs back then. They never heard of radon
gas. Like a different world.

I'm pretty sure I heard of the issue of radon in homes in the middle
1980's. I'm in Canada, though; it's more of a problem in winterized
homes, whose residents don't open their damned windows for much of the
year.

Radon was already linked to lung cancer in non-smoking miners in the
1940's, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radon#Health_risks.
