Hi all !
 You guys must have a good reason to ask it .
But i can't figure why ...
Why not if the old thread is just what you want to talk about ?
 thank you .

Because old topics are usually outdated.

On a general note, sometime people spent a lot of time researching a problem, they find a lengthy discussion (say 3 pages) on how x was fixed. If you now post something like "Where do I copy that file?" someone else would have to re-read the whole thing to actually know what you are talking about.

This is just a specific example of course but should you give an idea next to what Mikey and Info_Tech say.

Thank you,
 I understand that the major parts of the topics become obsolete quite fast .
That's why you don't want us to dig out too much .
But it could happen in some rare cases too ...
( for the neverending thread for exemple ( but this one will never become old anyway ..) )
