I agree that with Bobert that it sometimes puts a damper on a new thread when someone says, "We've already talked about that," and posts a link. Nevertheless, there is a wealth of information and general all around good stuff to be found in many of the older threads, and anyone who ignores them for whatever reason is doing really doing themselves a disservice by not checking them out.

At the same time, link or no link, the discussion in the new thread should go on. Stephen Hawking didn't just say, "Oh, hell! Einstein already talked about that!" He checked out what Einstein said and took it from there. So read what's already be said, and build on it.
