My objection would be that a moderator should be considering closing this ( apparently dead) thread rather than resurrecting it. And addressing someone who is quite likely not even reading this forum is a bit pointless.
I'm suggesting that you probably wasted your time reading this thread.
The last post before you resurrected the thread was nearly 2 months old. And there wasn't much posted in the month before that. The last one from Fred Williams was more than three months old.
So what exactly was the point of intervening in a discussion that was already over ?
I don't think that anybody was still reading this thread until you posted to it. And if Scott is still clashing with Fred Williams it isn't here. So - if thats your concern why not post to an active thread where they are actually battling ?
