I wasn't referring to any particular person or thread. And indeed, looking at the new thread you've started, that seems entirely appropriate to me—you've kicked off a new conversation and provided adequate context by linking to and/or quoting relevant past conversations. The specific topic at hand doesn't really need much more than that (it's not some complicated puzzle) and it's fair that most people who've thought about it in the past will feel ready to dive in if they're interested after reading what you've posted.
Maybe I'm a little biased in this case though, because personally I'm inclined to revisit that topic for the next language mode ;)
