You are replying to a post made over 17 years ago.

Don't post through the homeownershub without reading this first or you might be seen as a complete buffoon by most people reading your post, especially when you reply to a 17 years old post:

Why are you replying to a 5 year old argument based on a question posted

17 years ago?

Because WMD Repair Man is a Mega Buffoon.

Yes if its making noise now then its probably good fortune it still works at all.

I still don't understand why I can clearly see the date on those old posts but it seems most cannot. Brian

As has been explained before, if you enter the "hub" by their opening page there is under the banner "latest" a sample of what hub users assume to be recently asked questions but are in fact any question asked in the past 15+ years.

Also, occupying quarter of the page is a rolling "featured" article which at the time of writing is linked to a number of postings 14 to 17 years ago - but presented in a way that makes them look as it they have just been posted.

On clicking the links the posting date is shown but possible the brain ignores it because the assumption has already been made that the topic is only minutes old. We on this group are now used to following the "context" link and looking at the dates.

Don't bother with that. If only uk d-i-y readers would refrain from answering any post that comes from HomeOwnersHub it would be a mercy for the rest of us.

For the sheer hell of it I posted the same on the website itself. It seems they don't have any filters to weed out suspect posts.
