this is news applicable to today, it’s a supreme court decision regarding pro-life activism and purported organized crime statutes, RICO, that was used against them. Obviously, an issue not important to some FReepers. I knew the date of the story before I posted it, I did a search, found nothing and then posted. Now i’m wasting time with your minutia.
I still have yet to see any such FR threads regarding this story. Can you and the other “date moderators” find this so-called thread?

So is every Supreme Court decision ever made fair game for its own thread in the FR News forum at any given time?
Anyway I don't think any of us would say you should never post such a thing. But it's easy for people to miss the publishing date on a thread if it's not highlighted some other way; the simple note from the other poster mentioning that it was an old story was appropriate so that readers would be less likely to think that it was a current event. You may have noticed that some readers did so anyway.

It's important to me, but so are a lot of things; that doesn't mean I post nearly two-year-old stories about them.

I would not have commented, but your angry, sarcastic attack on that poster was uncalled for, so I decided to say something. Not that it's made you any friendlier.
