Sometimes, we get a bad attitude in a discussion, and say something out of place. If someone were to just simply pull up that old discussion, they might see something one of us said that was un-Christian-like, but we all change and that same member who posted with a bad attitude may have a better attitude now. It's just better to start over and get a fresh new look at a subject than to re-hash old threads.
So yeah, I totally agree with you. In some cases it's good to link to an old thread because someone made a good post there and that way they don't have to repeat it, but most of the time it's a good idea to just start over so everyone can get involved and newbies can ask questions.
