it's not really resurrecting old threads, again, it's adding no content at all. People don't start new threads to say "yeah" but they do resurrect threads to do so.
New threads are brought up when there's a new discussion -- usually predicated on new ideas. In the rare occassions when the new comment DOES relate to the previous discussion, the usual practice is to resurrect the old one.
Finally, deleting threads takes time. not much, I know, but it does require the admins to pay attention to when a thread is old enough. Since it's all volunteer, it's MUCH more efficient to correct someone when they do soemthing wrong. Plus it's good to have an archive for reference. People can go back and read the old stuff.
This really rubs you wrong doesn't it? Which means you've forgotten the cardinal rule for ALL forums: become familiar with THAT particular forum's nuances before joining hte community. People don't want their idiosynchrocies argued about. We have established practices. Too bad, that's not going to change, sarcasm or no.
btw, if you DO have something legitimate to say about Jordan, something that doesn't repeat what's been said before, please post it. We DO want to hear new thoughts. We just don't want a foundationless slam (even though I agree with you).
