hey, let me play internet police for a second :

it is a fact of life that people make mistakes and post old stuff. it is considered poor form to bash major contributors to various sites with inane complaints and conspiracies that they are doing it 'to up their post count'... the best thing for you to do should encounter a thread with old info in it is to pass it by instead of playing the ass and making a jerk of yourself.
