I have no interest in continuing this conversation. Good day.

You could literally not respond 😂.

It's not OPs job to fully explain all aspects of content that they are posting. I'm sorry that you think it is.

This exchange got me curious enough to search, "is it poor etiquette to post a 10 year old article to social media," and I couldn't find anything at all about it. I'm my personal opinion, if the information therein is still relevant, post it. Others may disagree with relevance to their personal lives, but they can simply move on, if so.
