Old posts popping up

Over on the Acrobat Windows forum there have been a lot of old post poppin up lately. I usually don't respond, but today failed to notice the date on this one: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4099957#4099957

Is this a bug or are they cropping up due to someone's intentional action?

    ...still shows for some time; I think it's a couple of days. And spammers have been very active, specially on weekends.

    As far as I know (from previous discussions) this is due to spam attacks

    When a spam attack hits an old message, and the spam message is then removed, the message does not SHOW a new posting, but the internal date is such that the old message thread still shows in the current list

    Looks like a serious problem as seen in this picture:

    I thought it was something to do with my machine but it is not so.
