I see this philosophy in many forums all over the Web.
Why do people think that old threads are automatically bad and only new thread are good?
I've learned plenty from old threads. And, I've asked many questions that effectively "revive" an old thread. Why would anybody want to start a whole new discussion on a topic that has already been thoroughly discussed? The science of Electricity hasn't changed in three years.
That brings us to the topic of "locked" threads. Why would any sysop want to prevent additional comments on a particular subject? Maybe if every possible answer had already been provided, which is NEVER true.
