It was against the rules back on Legacy, but not here and the HC mods don't seem to mind about necro'd threads, especially if the info within is still useful. Granted, I find it fairly common that a simple word search can lead to posting in an older thread. Quite frankly, I think there are more important things to get my knickers in a twist about these days. For instance:
Man-buns... scratch that. I used to think man-buns were stupid but then I realized one day that men have just as much right to wear their hair up out of the way as women do, besides it's not my hair so why should I even gives a rodent's backside what they do with it.
Women wearing inappropriate clothing... scratch that. Just because I wouldn't wear something doesn't mean I have the right to tell someone else, who is perfectly comfortable in their own body, what they should or should not wear, more power to them.
Men in skirts... Actually, I'm not sure if I ever cared about them wearing skirts but I do recall a story about a male USPS worker back in the day that the regs allowed the wearing of their uniform shorts only during certain months regardless of the weather, while female workers could wear skirts year-round, so he began wearing a skirt. Kudos to him for thinking outside of the box.
Don't worry so much about the little things folks.
