Regarding the longevity of Schumacher Corner (and other threads) try looking at the status bar in your browser when you put your mouse over the link to the thread. In that one's case, the "t=36" means it is thread #36, or the 36th thread ever created on the site (whereas this Reedy thread, for example, is thread #73,050).
