Do you guys find it annoying when you see that a guest has revived a 3 or 4 yr old thread with a response of; "thank you" or "good post", etc.?
I don't know about you guys but I delete these posts, they serve no purpose other than reviving an OLD thread and pushing down new threads that need attention. What do you think?

Well ..... no. I guess the point I was trying to make is that I try to see if it was a real person posting. I'd feel bad deleting if it was a genuine person showing their gratitude.
If I seen it was a registered member, I'd look at a few of their other posts to see what they're posting about. If their other posts are legitimate questions, etc, then I might be inclined to leave the one post that only says "thank you."
