Wow, I didn't know about it. Big thanks for this suggestions. I will add this filter soon. What do you think should be a name for this filter? Maybe something like "old posts"? :)

If someone wants to look specifically for old posts, you have that covered with the year filter (where the reader can choose 2009, 2010, etc.) Also, note that a few submissions begin Ask YC: Review {our,my}....
