His question was posted more then a month ago, and he is inactive for over a month now, just somebody bumped the thread today and here we go again,the same discussions.
Not that it's bad to have discussions,no.. it's just that we repeat ourselves every single time this happens.
It really doesn't matter how far back a thread was made/posted/started,as long as a user still has a thing or two to add to the discussion,then it's definitely OK still commenting on such threads..
We've got topics that've been on for close to a year now, and such topics still ocuppy the front page of their various sections as users still contribute a thing or two to the discussions daily
Well your assessment may be correct only based on the fact that this thread is a meaningless/redundant one
