There is on Usenet. I'm not sure exactly where it comes from, but it is bad
nettiquette. I *think* it's to prevent one person from keeping a thread alive
when no one else cares.
At any rate, I have seen people flame each other for doing it, but only rarely
if the "violator" either answers his own question or somehow corrects his
previous post.
I know that whenever I do it I give a nod to nettiquette and acknowledge that
I'm breaking it, even with a good reason.
