Chill!  She has a point! When a thread is dead, don't bring it back to say "no."
If you said more than one word explaining your answer, perhaps it wouldn't have been so weird.

Exactly. For the most part, if a thread has been inactive for a few months that means that the topic most likely has been discussed to death and unless you have new information to contribute, you shouldn't bump it lest you want to face the wrath of board members who were around for the original posting of the topic. Especially if in the original posting someone replied, "There's about 800 000 000 000 000 posts about this already."
I'm sorry if people seem to be jumping all over you, but this is actually pretty mild compared to the thrashing some people have gotten over the years.

I'm pretty sure that in the original Mark is the only one who doesn't. That is why he says the line "Perhaps it's because i'm the one of us to survive."

This is straight from wikipedia:

Tom Collins, an HIV-positive philosophy teacher; friend and former roommate of Roger, Mark, Benny, and Maureen; Angel's love interest
Benjamin "Benny" Coffin III, landlord of Mark, Roger and Mimi's apartment building; ex-roommate of Mark, Collins, Roger, and Maureen. Now married to Alison Grey of the Westport Greys.
Joanne Jefferson, a Harvard-educated lawyer; Maureen's lover
Angel Dumott Schunard, an HIV-positive drag queen street percussionist/musician; Collins' love interest.

You are right, in the original NYTW workshop Mark was the only character without HIV. That was changed after the workshop though.

I'm not going to argue about this situation, I just think we should know that Wikipedia isn't always factual. Now kill me for reviving this already dissected topic with useless information. Remember: Everyone has a right and the ability to edit Wikipedia. Including all of the MdN spammers. And I'm sure they take full advantage of that right.

That's a good point. I've updated pages on my hometown before. It's kinda like IMDB- good guideline but should be taken with a grain of salt.

Its a shame - because it takes away what's so great about Wikipedia! I hear they're gonna be changing the way people can edit the site. Unfortunately that also means the site will lose its originality.

They have to do that a lot.
On my schools site for notable alumni, we had students submitting themselves. It was great to see all the nerds' names on there.
