I'm not sure there's a point to modding up old posts. While threaded comments on old posts might benefit from moderation to help drive-by viewers, I don't see how ratings on old posts are beneficial to anyone (aside from trying to overflow EY's karma).
Well, just to give an example, if someone comes in and sees Engines of Cognition, regarded by many here as one of the best posts, they may be misled by its rating of 3, compared to EY's typical 30+ rating for newer posts which, while good, are not the classic must-read that Engines of Cognition is.
(I don't see much reason to worry about EY's karma going up; he's past "karma escape velocity" :-P )
Though I guess there are easier solutions, like picking the ten most popular posts as per the threads I linked, and give them each 30 points but not add them to EY's karma. Or, put an explanation about the site's history on anything here before Feb. 09.
