user18278: When seeing transactions I see that the number of confirmations keeps increasing without any limit.
I wanted to know if there is any time limit on including a already confirmed transaction in a block by a miner.  Like transactions not older than a year, etc.  

user-1: A "confirmation" is merely how many blocks that are after the confirmed transaction in the blockchain plus the transaction's block itself.
For example, if a transaction is in block 5,000, and there are now 5,005 blocks then that transaction has 6 confirmations.
