Take a current thread and delete the last two numbers from the url.

[Zuiderelle]

Or even a post from this thread,

Here's an example, from page 1 of the lounge, the original thread today:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7923323

Remove the last two numbers from the URL to bring up a thread from bygone years:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x79233

Then make that subject the subject of your post.

What they hey, it's better than copycats, eh? :evilgrin:

I'll go first.

Edited to add, some of my links below look like the responses from this thread are attached to them when you click them. I hope I don't bring DU down with this little experiment :) Unless we keep getting more New Yorker threads, in which case, I'd be doing everyone a favor.

4. How'd you do that?

[Zuiderelle]

5. Quiet you!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x79232

I see what you mean by "how'd you do that" now... it happens when I link directly to a response here and copy that url (and remove 2 digits). It looks like it's appending these posts to that old archived post because of the way the url is built.

[Zuiderelle]

22. There would not be a valid "chain of custody". A test based on hair collected that way would be

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x36204

It is odd... and even odder to see posts from people I recognize that they made years before I knew them. Good thing to remember, that these posts apparently stay here forever. :o
