Snopes disagrees:

Claim: Albert, a poster on the Virtual Swamp, would rather be hit with an old news thread than be snopesed. Status:   False. Origins: Old News Thread. Getting Snoped usually means you were fooled into believing something that wasn't accurate, or sometimes even true. Getting called on an ONT just means you were lazy. Link Actually, Albert is wrong. He would rather be snopsed, but was fooled into thinking he prefered old news threads by a spam email passed on by a co-worker. Last updated:   31 December 1998
