People are busy and sometimes cannot devote enough time to look for old releases. In addition, the search engine is not precise and sometimes returns too many hits, making it difficult to find a specific thread. Could we show a bit more patience, please? IMHO, something along the line " Thank you for the upload. However, I should mention that this is a re-release and the original release was <URL>. Please try to acknowledge the original release in future re-releases." might be more appropriate in polite company;  this is, generally speaking, a polite forum.   -Shuziburo |
excellent comments, thanks for the nice comments. we need of re-release of some valuable stuffs as you mentioned above. it will certainly help people to download the missed stuffs. thanks Babu, but as said by Shuziburo it is worthy to mention that the stuff was released earlier so that it wont be any double-downloading for some people.
