A zombie is a re-animated corpse. A person, animal, etc. that is brought back from the dead. A zombie thread, therefore, is a thread that is considered to be dead that someone brings back to life. I would have explained that in the original post, but I didn't think that it would take much intelligence to figure out, even for someone who hasn't spent much time on the net.
But no, I was not asking why smart people do things that _I_ consider stupid. I was asking why people who claim to be smart will often do things that the general public considers taboo.
