I would say that it's likely that he didn't realize it was a ten year old thread. I'm not one of them, but some people use the "Previous Thread / Next Thread" links at the bottom of each thread. Picture this situation:

You're reading a recent thread. Somebody posts a link to an old thread where the topic was discussed. You click on it and read through it. When you get to the bottom, you click on the "Next Thread" link like you have a habit of doing. You continue reading old threads (not realizing just how old they are) and before long you have something to add to a conversation. Unfortunately, the conversation had pretty much wrapped up about the time that you were just beginning to officiate. So, everybody has a good laugh at your expense, nobody gets hurt and the world keeps turning.
