I'm not likely to reply to a raised thread. It's unlikely that the old participants in the thread are going to start the debate up again, as they've already stopped for whatever reason, making your points kinda... pointless in that regard. Without back and forth, there's not much reason to contribute. A new thread with new participants coming at it their own way would be much better, IMO. Also, if its really long, changing subjects a few times perhaps, then not too many people are going to sit through it (especially once they figure out the year is 2004 or some such thing). Again, best to just start up your own thread on the subject instead.
