Agree.

In fact, continuing in an old thread of the correct topic probably makes things easier for people to follow rather than having 10 different threads about the same thing with the same questions/issues being discussed again and again.

Except that 99% of the time, a thread is resurrected by someone (usually a "newer" member who just adds essentially a "me too" comment).

If there was new / changed information, then that might be useful -- but it rarely happens.

I first posted something like this back on the McGriff's board (I think), but threads should be locked after x days of no activity, or after x posts (either we have a consensus by then, or there's none to be reached and the thread just degenerates into a re-hash of the various opinions). And, no pictures (they rarely add anything), and an individual should only be able to post once per thread per period of time.

That makes too much sense bob.
