I realize there are limitations and required management of a forum like this but... there is ADDITIONAL valuable refit and performance (plus contact) info out there that can be gleaned by restarting a conversation. this is an old boat forum so old info is valuable...
what say ye?
the threads may be locked but they are still readable.... and YES, there is a LOT of valuable information stored away within this site
my opinion is... there really is no need to reopen something that has been closed for quite sometime. the search function works quite well for finding what you are searching for if you type in the right keywords.
and its it so easy to ask another question... someone, and very likely, MANY will either answer you or point you to the link that carries the information you seek....
new sailors, new ideas, new methods and newly developed equipment are always finding an audience on this site, so its good to have new opinions with a shorter thread sometimes rather than a looonng one that is filled with months or years old posts on it... and has long since went dead, so it was locked.
to make my point clearer... there is a current post going that is still very active so it remains open. it has well over 20 thousand of "views", and nearly 600 posts.... so if you would take the time to read thru all of that, then come back and see if your opinion changes about reopening a long dead/locked posts
....
as I said, this is only
my opinion.
