Zombie threads

There's already a thread about this very subject. I don't think we need another.

Newsgroup readers used to have a way to lock a given username from appearing in the list of messages. I don't suppose there is any way to do that with these forums. 

I am not talking about locking someone from posting.  This was for reading. If you didn't want to be bothered with seeing messages from a particular user, you could block your own visibility to a given user, like we can do with email.  It would be handy now.

I think somebody is playing games- it looks like about a dozen were recently posted, one after another.

As I said, there are sometimes good reasons for activating a zombie thread.  But when every post for the day consists of zombie threads, that is too much for me.  Isn't there anything new going on?

These zombie threads are usefull if they still impart usefull...

Yes Don however, some of them work out like the Auto thread "Tamiya Honda" thread an hour ago. Thread was a couple years old and the person knew it but the person who posted the thread replyed. I've also seen where just out of interest for the subject someone brings it up again. I guess if everyone understands that it was old then it would be Ok?
