2010 Tradional IRA to Roth conversion

 The post is over a year old. Why are you digging up old threads?

OK... just noticed the year end date of 2010 instead of 2011.

Will pay attention more.

Felt like replying.

What's the problem?

Why can't someone just post an opinionated answered instead of being hounded like a troll?

That's what the purpose of this tax forum, isn't it? To post questions and maybe have someone answer it even if it's outdated.

Maybe someone can read the posts later for a simiar question they have and find the question answered.

 There's alot of Qs here but many were never answered.

Guess I'll pass on any questions that's old <Sept 2011 then.

 You are certainly welcome to answer whatever you prefer.  

When these old threads are answered, it pulls them to the top of the list.  For those of us who try monitor the questions in our spare time, in hopes of helping someone, it confuses the order of things.  

And although the original poster MAY be monitoring the question, most likely they aren't or have asked a second time.

I'm sure others will weigh in on the subject with a better explanation.

Edit:  Here is a link to the second question with answer:

I think Debi gave a very good explanation.  Besides, if the poster gets email notification of comments to their questions, I don't image they would want an email for a question that is a year old.  I know I wouldn't.  I would guess Debi is correct.  The questions were probably asked somewhere else or researched and answered on their own (which is the best way for questions to be answered if possible).

There are a couple of income averaging questions still open from 1979 if you want to give them a shot next.  Might as well get those cleared up before we answer any more questions from today.

Thanks for the notes.

I'll pay more attention to the posting dates from now on.
