you are replying to a 4 days old email on a thread that is no longer active?

A + B = perfectly justified timing of reply.
C: the debate was taken to every place it could possibly go, and the commit was reverted.
D: read mail, have knee jerk reaction, send email, read remainder of unread mail and realize A, B and C have already occurred and then decided it's best to read all unread mail before allowing knee to jerk the send button.
So what's the point of reviving it? Sometimes, if you don't get your $0.02 posted in time, it's best to just sit on it.
Agreed.
