All this is solved if you have COMMON sense.
If you insist on this useless nitpicking, then I'll spell it out black and white:
Certain degree of offtopicness is hard to avoid. Everyone knows that. A couple of posts in exchange is fine, but when it exceeds that and you would love to discuss it at greater detail and length, open a new topic in the relevant section. Not rocket science... Oh, did I mention there's this crazy little thing called the IRC?
True that everyone has different interpretations of the word "several", but everyone knows that it's more than a "couple". Most of the time, there's nothing significant to add anyway if the thread has died out after two weeks. If you have that Eureka moment after "several weeks", then feel free to post and we'll decide for you whether the content is significant enough to stay or not. Other than time and quality of content, other minor factors come into play as well. Is the member still active? Is the project still alive? Again, common sense. Obviously if you are posting 3 months after the thread has died out and the author is no longer active, then you really have issues in several departments.
As for the last point, it comes down to common sense again. If the interval between the posts are too short, then obviously double, triple (and etc) posting is not allowed.
I think Phil could claim medication money from you by the way.
