So, a user should go read the whole old thread, 678 posts, to see of his/her post is relevant in adding something new?
Warnings that can be used preventing gravedigging:
‘You really want to gravedig?’ 'Your username will be changed permanently to ‘necromancer’.!

The key is adding something on-topic and substantial. In other words, there are good gravedigs and bad gravedigs. If you’re not familiar with the tread content, there’s always some risk of being off topic.

Among the latter: reviving a long-dormant thread to ask a question to (or give advice to) a poster who is loooooong gone from this site.

Well, I don’t think gravediggers will check the last time people signed in, or do they?

Diggers got to dig.
Yes, I even did a grave dig here to post that.
Plus I have a cake next to my name today, so it is extra special.
