How do I ask a question from a locked thread?

[Forget Favre]

One of the mods created and locked a thread explaining something to us.
However, something still isn't clear to me.
Can I copy and re-post what the mod wrote and start a thread with my question here without getting into any trouble?
Or should I just pm that mod for clarification?

I will unlock it...I assume you mean the one on duplicate, search and correct section areas?
