I know I did just that, scratching my head why scrolling down.
The worrying thing is I don’t remember writing those posts, and it was only 2 years ago!
I am slowly coming to understand why people approach things with the wrong mindset though, I find the psychology of it quite fascinating, but very off-topic for this forum 
Even more worrying is that even when I dimly remember writing something when I read it 1 year after, I don’t understand at all anymore what I wrote.
The worrying thing, and not just for this forum, is I sometimes get as search results posts on the Usenet (long ago) or Internet (after that) and I think, that’s interesting, I didn’t know that! Or worse, what a load of rubbish! That’s when I notice from the headers that I wrote that post. 
But yeah you were right to split off that thread.
Thank you eelik for your answer. It was my bad. I mistakenly thought it would generally be better to have “all about pin headers” collected in one topic and not divide every possible pin header question variant in a new topic. I respect your argument about old threads which I didn’t consider enough. Anyway I’m very glad I found KiCad and appreciate the very active forum with great help and ideas.
Hi, eelik
I could have designed something a month ago, and it works nicely, but today I cannot understand the design any more than if someone else had done it. 
Exaggerating a little but I really forget pretty quickly.
It can be really embarrassing when you wind up arguing with yourself and losing.
