I feel ashamed some people here consider it helping. It's just SPAM disguised in another form.
Why? Well, some people like to hear different opinions... Most of the time I spend on JF is reading. I don't always reply to things, but I do like reading what people have to say. So, reviving a thread is good for that. And people don't always realise that a thread exists. I don't search for a thread to reply in. I see the front page, if the thread interests me, then I reply! The same thing will happen if a thread is revived! It will be seen by people, if anyone has an opinion, they will reply, if noone has an opinion, it will die again. At most, it will take up the front page for a couple of hours. Where is the harm in that?
