I don't recall offhand whether it was Reddit or Twitter, but one of them announced last week that they were "expanding their search" to include posts beyond two weeks old. Until they complete this revision, NOTHING more than that age can be found with their site search.

Here, you can go back to the First Post at Mudcat and with a little work you can retrieve anything that was ever here. (The first post is #4 because the first few "setup" posts were deleted.) This is a very important difference for anyone who actually wants to learn (or share) something, instead of just pasting the latest recycle of ancient urban lies.

It is not at all uncommon here for a question asked in a thread to be answered ten or more years later, or for discussion to continue. On many of the "social sites" three minutes old isn't news anymore (and most of it probably wasn't when posted).
