Many of us noticed that, on various topics: it happens once in a while. When there's sufficient interest again, things can bump and it looks like it's brand new but it's actually some kind of holy thread necro'ing.

And when it happens, there's also usually one or two people unfamiliar with TFA necromancing that posts a message not unlike yours.
