I think the reason all the posts are archived is so that people can search for answers. We have all seen posts where it is stated that "this subject" has been posted several times and that the poster should of searched.

I would like to also point out that the "old" post isn't old to the new member searching for answers. Maybe the original poster has solved their problem, or has left the forum, but their experience and knowledge gained is very beneficial to other members.

Instead of mocking someone for replying to an old post, maybe we should understand that they are seeking advice and help to something similarly posted in that old post.

And the "spoiled brat" comment is way below the spirit of this forum, and who are you to say you are correcting other people or asked you to? Sounds more to me that you are a self indulged horn blower trying to make yourself feel good.

Have a nice day...
