The best thing to do with the older threads is to start a new thread on the topic if you would like. Thanks again for your question!

I didn't know there was this "rule".  I thought if a thread is not closed, then it's "fair game". I've been posting in old threads for years and nobody ever berated me for it. Also, I don't even look at the date of the posting but the contents/member name.
I'm still very much active, and unfortunately nothing changes in my life. So my threads are still relevant.
Multiple threads on the same topic are overwhelming for me. We once had 3 book threads going. I suggested a merging of the 3 threads.
2 were closed, and the most recent one was left open (and it was started years ago like the others).

I wasn't calling YOU a sheep. I meant people tend to follow other people when it comes to a thread getting responses. It doesn't happen all the time, but in my experience, when nobody responds to a thread......nobody will respond to it.
I meant it seems to take at least one reply before others respond. I've done this too---posting in a thread that got no replies. Then more come.
