It's actually on topic and relevant. Just because it's ancient doesn't make it rule-breaking.

Gravedigging: Posting a reply on a long disused thread; bumping threads that aren't used anymore. Adding legitimate new material is permitted, and the acceptable age varies from forum to forum. Adding a book report in Jennifer Government is acceptable after months of inactivity, but bumping a week-old topic in General may not be.
The thread was about ancient telegrams. The gravedigger even explained why he chose to reuse that thread, and his explanation was entirely plausible. It wasn't some n00b posting "lol I agree" to some two-year-old thread on some topical issue, like most gravedigging.
If you want rules that are a straitjacket to play under, that can probably be arranged. Most people prefer just a bit more freedom.
