Oh, this curse is much worse than that, George. Your Celtic curse sounds like my average Saturday night back in Edinburgh, before I stopped drinking.I don't think Wolfgang has earned a KERPOW ! yet, Spaw. However, unless you promise to buy one of Tony's CDs and then start a thread about the "World's greatest guitarist" I may consider despatching a minor malevolency in the direction of Ohio. Nothing too menacing, just something to ensure multiple and unpleasant nocturnal visits to the bathroom.
I don't have any problem at all with thread revival, most of them make interesting reading, but yes, I am sure that over the past two or three weeks there have been many more old threads revived than usual.
