The thing is if you post on an old thread the thread is bumped to the top of the page, I'd think most people check out the threads that are on the top of the page first, even if they are not new threads. The old people may be gone but why should that stop other new people from commenting on the topic? Why would starting a new thread alleviate fear for newbis, I'd think it would be the other way around. This also has the advantage of making people read some of the older responses. As I said, many of the older responses are very inteligent and eloquent.
