In an effort to reduce the number of daily bot "bumps" of old Q&As, I've started going through those old threads and upvoting - if appropriate/warranted of course. I hope I understood in the oher thread that if the answers in those threads get votes, then the bot will stop bumping them.
So, while there are some horrible one-liners, a decent number of those old answers are surprisingly good, and made by first - and only - time users. So it's shame that no one recognised them back then, if they did then maybe they would have continued answering.
