There's no contradiction here. The exhortation is to avoid asking questions that have been asked before ad nauseam. However, if the question still stands, even after reading old replies, there's no reason not to ask it again, albeit with clarification. quote:
Once 'historical researchers' have seen something on an old thread that gets them thinking, they might well want to add to that thread, I'd imagine. It depends on the nature of the thread. In this case, the person who started the thread was looking for advice, nearly three years ago and I'm not sure there's much point in resurrecting the thread to add to it, especially as the OP doesn't even have a profile here any more. On the other hand, I think it's a good idea to resurrect discussion-type threads if somebody has something genuinely new and interesting to say. I suppose that, since the question that started the thread was so generic, one could say that this is a discussion thread rather than an advice thread. beeble.
