My guess is that he starts new ones with similar information and then some of the information overlaps.
Plus it is usually easier to get a faster answer with no responses than to wade through a bunch of info that you may already have read. just my guess

well i think that allot of this information is all rehashed anyway but when someone does a search its helpful to reference an old thread and bump it. But he insists on closing every thread so this becomes impossible and a NEW THREAD must be started
I only ask now as this is i think the 3rd thread that he has closed in the past 2 days
I understand when a thread is closed because it becomes a pissing match or goes WAY off topic, but I thought closing threads is really best left to the mods isnt it?
I also understand if an item is for sale and the thread is closed after its no longer available, but i dont know why he always closes his Query threads. Why the hell would anyone respond to them if they just get closed? I dont see what purpose it serves.

Isn't Mongo the guy who walks down the street and punches a horse up side the head and the beast falls to the ground?

no bug, there was something i was curious to find out about in a thread the other day and it was closed. So i cannot ask and inquire about it.
then today i saw another closed thread so im asking why you always close your threads that i think could be of use to other members

I have closed 2 threads in 2 days. 1 because I pulled the wrong one up by mistake via search and the second because I got a response to my fuel injector connector outside of Rennlist. Why should I leave it open if I got the response I needed? I would rather not waste people's time making something goto 3 pages and then close it saying, "Hey I got my connector 2 pages ago. Sorry guys"

How is that for a distraction

the reason i bring it up is that i look through old threads when i need info on something. if its a 3 year old thread on a timing belt and i have a question i bump an old thread. If all these old threads were closed i would not be able to do this.
No one else closes their old threads to questions they needed help solving. Like i said, i get it when you close for sale items or other stuff, but i dont know why its necessary to close a technical thread, is that not why this board is of use? I dont come here for political banter, I come here to learn about the cars and buy and sell stuff.
So i ask you simply why you close your threads when others in the future may find it helpful. Is this illogical?
AGAIN, i am not trying to pick a fight, i just dont understand why you close a thread that could be of use to others, thats it. If you insist on it then by all means do what you wish, i just think that it could be of help to others if they were left open, otherwise they just disappear into the abyss.
