Ressurect or re-post

As [xaviergisz] pointed out on the only idea I've resurrected from an account deletion, a lot of good annos got deleted (and a lot of long-winded bad annos too.)

Following the wayback link there are one or two ideas I actually wouldn't mind reposting, not the whole account, god no! The alcohol levels or other states of mind I was in also brought with it a large amount of inane drivel, but to my surpise a few gems like "Water powered offshore water pumping thing" that I recently saw featured on a doomentary program.

Question is, should all annos be resurrected, or should it start afresh, living in the here and now and ready for new annos like a full pint glass of ice cold beer waiting for the first caress of a finger to form a rivulet from the condensation ?

       Any documentary with a severely negative outcome.

       Ressurect the whole package annos included, but edit some annos for hilarity. Put in some extras too. You can ascribe any errors to the wayback machine.

       Edit the resurrection to take into account what you've learned since then; add a link to the old original for people curious about the history / the funny old annotations.

       I wish there were a way to remove all alcohol and drug influenced ideas from an account. (Annos and past relationships too?)   

       But alas, we must all face those demons eventually anyway.

       I don't think the alcohol is the major problem, its posting while depressed or bored. Btw, software engineers don't face daemons, they write them.

       I just realized that if all my old alcohol and drug influenced posts were removed, I wouldn't have had to delete my accounts in the past. There would not have been anything left of them anyway. Nada, Zilch. Orez. Not one single word. Ever.   

       Ouch, that hurts.

       Would it be a witty repost?
MaxwellBuchanan, Jun 09 2009
  

       The repost / re-post ambiguity was intented, but admittedly it did rely on the faulty memory of repost meaning "at rest" as in "live again or let die".   

       I hope you like the witty re-post today.

       It is interesting that one cannot use google to search the wayback machine for a given text. Or at least I came up empty trying to learn more about Recursive Jousting.
