The SDMB has been around for a long time, and most conceivable topics have been discussed. As a participant in these message boards, would you rather see a brand new thread made for something that has been discussed before - maybe several times already - or would you prefer that a zombie thread be resurrected?

Shouldn’t this be a poll?

I’d rather see the Zombie, so we can see what arguments were made before. Not that it will stop people from saying the same thing again, but I can hope.
