No offense to anyone intended.... but I will say I still cannot understand why some search and find an ancient thread and post in it instead of just starting a new thread or adding to a long term still active thread (like the broken glass compendium thread). At the very least, reviving a necro-thread should be prefaced with "I know this thread is 6 years old but...."

So this is half-necro-ing the necro'd post...(maybe it's just in a coma... or mostly dead, which is still partly alive.)
I get a selection of posts at the bottom of the page - usually 8 links, 5 of them threads and 3 ads. Most times they're active, but sometimes they're necro from who knows how long ago. Don't know how or why the system chooses those to put out there.
Anyways, I normally do check dates, but must have missed this one to revive.

Wishing you a speedy and full as possible recovery! (even a numb pinky I better than no pinky, I suppose) I have one 3 gallon glass carboy and when I need to move it full I wear those blue finger and palm rubber work gloves. I only use it when I need a secondary so not often. Milkcrate is a good way to keep the bottom from getting chipped. Take care and treat yourself to a new safer fermenter, so there will be no more broken body part beers.

I wasn't even aware of that. Would explain a lot of it. I'd always thought it was people just using the search function then adding to a thread that hasn't been posted in for several years. But yeah a suggested thread feed would definitely explain most of it.

@jrgtr42 has a good point. At the bottom of this thread, the mixture of ads and threads has a thread from 2009 whose last post is from 2012. it is "related" and I probably would haven't checked the date on it myself.

That is why I use the New Posts tab at the top. You won't be the first to reply to a necro thread.

Nope, but I'll be the third!
