Unfortunately, the straw in this case amounts to spam. If there is a need for such an advice, it would be polite to write an introduction, explaining the response to a decade old post.

I know it happens. I have seen several Oracle 8i instances still in production, even after the breakup of Pangaea. However, when sending a post to a newsgroup, the audience deserves an explanation. Without an explanation, such post is pure and unadulterated spam and will rightly be treated accordingly.
