This generally works best when you quote the member who posted it so they get an alert. Of course on a thread dormant for 17 months with a user not seen for 5 weeks, it wouldn't work that well in any case.
So what you've just done is resurrect a thread to leave a useless message (one also bereft of capital letters) for no reason... Thanks for dragging it back to the top pointlessly so I have to deal with it, lest novice users creating new threads think it's an acceptable title.
