Actually, I blame you for writing a 6 year old article. It's your own fault. Next time, write a more recent article. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

But surely you wrote the article solely to fix his exact problem, using tachyon packets to receive his QA question 6 years early so you could get it ready for him?

And elsewhere in the Lounge today we have people complaining about having to update software.. you can't win!
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Though if they are a new programmer trying to learn, should they necessarily know its a deprecated framework? Is there a way to flag old articles as such so when a person wants to ask a question, this is explicitly explained to them beforehand? Or perhaps they want to understand the old framework merely to satisfy curiosity?
Can older articles question submissions be turned off, or redirected to a general forum if the author no longer wishes to respond?
I understand the frustration, and I'm guessing you posted this in the Lounge as more of a rant. I have not seen the question and following exchange, so maybe the questioner should have known better, but how can we be more encouraging for those who do not?

None of that excuses the laziness exhibited by the guy.

IMO bad idea. I've used a number of older articles as reference where Member B answered a question from Member A that was relevant to me even though the author was MIA.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Sorry, should have clarified that. I didn't mean not to show the existing questions/answers, but to not allow new questions being submitted to the author, if they no longer wish to receive them. This would still be allow a reference to the existing questions.

Still a bad idea. Maybe someone else with more interest could answer the question.

Funny how the l33t knew, all those years ago, that the word would be needed.
They must have been smarter than we thought.
... Or not. Shame we can't do a "Where are they now?" on anonymous Internet users.

I'm looking at ferries across the Med [secret to where] and they're all 9 hours plus for our destination. The longest crossing of 27 hours is also half the price of the next one

Are you taking a long piece of string and using two tin cans to act as an acoustic modem, or are you going to be out of contact with here? And how will Gordons know where to send the tanker?
