Varies, can be useful, some just like to do a thread on a specific subject to keep it self contained so the thread doesn't become overly woolly. Could be handy when reading or searching for a specific subject, though there are so many threads here from over the years. I've never really taken the time to go back myself and search through threads from years ago. Bill has helpfully pulled up many old threads, I sometimes read some of them.
A lot can be learned from some old posts, some I see got the hang of the FSW dating game long ago. I could have probably learnt some important lessons earlier had I read back, but so, so, so much to read, who would know where to start.
Some old threads are interesting, like travelling back in time and wishing you were there to take part in the action. I guess for some members here their old travel threads are like reliving those moments a little.
Changing the thread though does help discuss whatever whenever as it flows. A flowing conversation has it's own merits I think, some like change in topic in a thread some don't I guess.
Bill has had his own pet peeves with me on changing threads even if the title stays the same
