I'm generalizing here-- it could be different from what i've observed, but I've noticed the rehasing of old topics is common among members who've been here for awhile, don't post often, and usually browse just as infrequently. Who knows, perhaps they're impatient and unwilling to search for similar threads.
Nothing against anyone who may do this. This honestly doesn't bother me. But you were looking for an explanation, and I provide answers for fellow chatroom members.
The thing is a lot of the people who are rehashing old topics are not members who have been here for a while, just about all of these repeat/useless threads are being started by people who have joined in 2005. It's not a big deal but it is a trend that should be brought to light IMHO.
