Link to compilations of previous threads on "Tired Topics"

It’s not the “tiredness” so much that gets to me but the “too lazy to Google” ones. (Something I have been guilty of. But I’m getting better.)

Take the latest thread on geographical anomalies. I like the occasional return of something like this. (Something I pointed out in the thread.)

Sometimes it’s fun to revisit a topic.

I think it might be discouraging to new visitors to see a sticky or some such telling them not to start a thread on a long list of topics. Is there question new or old? Where do you draw the line? Etc.

I think that if the point is “we’ve done this already, over and over again”, it’s nice to be able to point to that over-and-over. Not so much to have a new summary of issues written.

You could do both. A short summary and links to previous discussions. The summary explains why it’s over and the old threads let people see how the discussion went.

@ftg

Is there question new or old?

Do they know how to spell “their”?
