I have no problem with new threads. At least I have the option to get involved or not. I agree, more members should use the search function first to see if they can determine what to do on their own but that is contrary to the must be immediate world we live in and the less ones knowledge the less useful searches will be. It's fine to revive an old thread though probably not a good idea if the last post was over a year old. Hardly ever a question that hasn't been answered several times over the years.
