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.

That's a good point. Sometimes, I'll actually copy and "refine" or "expand" a previous post. Often, I'll re-read something and wish I would have said it differently.
