This topic is a two sides sharp sword.

I usually try don't to punish answering old questions.

But 90% of the people posting to old questions are just "bloggers" that do a search for a topic and pack just a link to that question, even when it is already answered correctly.

I do see the point, that technology evolves and maybe new possibilities have been opened to solve a problem.

Personally I will continue doing as now, have a look to the brand new answer and decide about its relevance, help to the topic. If it doesn't pass the evaluation, then report it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
