I'm afraid we've got a bit of a chicken and the egg conundrum here. If you knew it was the wrong thing to do, then why did you do it? If you didn't know, then how would you ever learn if somebody didn't point it out to you?

Besides, I made no "comment" I simply posted a URL, you decided to add a "comment" in your own mind that. Did you consider that I may have just been pointing you to the place where people would get the most usage out of your review, thus increasing the benefit derived from your effort?

If you don't discourage wasteful thread creation, then it'll spiral out of control (well, actually, we're already way past that point) and you'll end up with a forum filled to the brim with the same things over and over and over (just like we have now!) and drive away a large number of core contributers (just like we've already done!).
