Most news servers delete messages after 90 days or so - so replying to that
message would create a message with no prior context. Better is to post your
problem and what you've tried so far in a new thread.

What determines whether you can reply to a thread? Is it a matter of
after a certain time the thread is considered dead and you can no
longer reply? For instance, I found this thread that pertains to a
question I have.
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...e0b553a8cee7b4
However, I can't reply to it. But I can reply to more recent threads.
(so it's not a matter of being logged in).
Seems odd that a thread can't be replied to just because it's old.
