@Nathaniel two solid examples of the "old answer bias" phenomenon, +1 to both

@Nathaniel and Thaddeus - good work guys, as far as new members go, you two rock!

@ThaddeusB Bruce James's answer seems pretty close

@bruised Thanks for the kind words and good catch. I previously missed Bruce's conclusion somehow. I have given him an upvote as well. (His answer was two years after the original answers, so it also is a good example of the phenomenon.)
