When someone gives a 3 paragraph response of why they are right based on information that they heard from "a buddy/the internet" and has no real world experience on the matter.

Disagree with this part. There is tons of ancient knowledge is those older posts. Questions that were answered 10 years ago constantly pop up in new posts only to be redirected back to an old post.
#43. When someone quotes an entire previous post consisting of 14 pictures, only to add one sentence that may or may not refer to just one of those pictures.

When someone asks a question of the original poster and they haven't been on line for 5 or 6 years, just start a new thread. The rules say something about a thread over 45 days.

Exactly. The rules used to address this, and zombie threads were locked... unfortunately, this is no longer the case. Mods were spending too much time running around locking zombie threads revived by noobs.
Also, requesting an update after six months or so from an active poster is not the same as replying to a 1-10-year-old thread

I try to quote only the text that the poster put the with the pic, or just the pic I'm referring to when quoting pics. It's considered forum etiquette on other boards.
