You mean bring the past into the present...
...with no limitation as to how far back in time a post was submitted.
That is precisely what I think should not be done. To "correct" the archives, if a regular PBC could not be inserted into the thread, then I would be in favor of either editing the subject header or editing the post and placing appropriate text at the top of the submission. Of course, this problem could be obviated if posts older than 3 weeks were simply left to the discretion of the head moderator for sanction, and posts older than 1 year not to be considered.
