Thanks for the help hakzaw1 !

Basshed is probably not a complete newbie

Alaskan, I think you're right on the money, unless he's been communicating with Len through PM's, that's a possibility.

Often enough people just run into old threads by searching and don't even notice their age. Sometimes one gets revived so to me it looks recent and i will comment in it, especially if it's still relevant.

There is no reason all old threads should not be continued, sometimes little has really changed over time and additional information is useful.
