@ Ooneykcall

That sentence # 3073953 is not a translation from sentence # 3073869 (You might have told me about it long ago.)
Can you fix it?

Both work, don't they? 'you might have' may be a reproach (you should have, why haven't you done so?) and a genuine possibility (perhaps you have, but I forgot), to the best of my knowledge.
1. "You might have told me about it long ago, we could have easily avoided the trouble."
2. "You might have told me about long ago, but I don't remember."

Aren't both interpretations possible?

Maybe you are right. Thank you.
