Actually I don't see anything wrong with the topic coming up again.
It is good to let people discuss something, even though others have heard of it before. I'm sure they will ultimately learn that it has been discussed earlier, too, but generally, I don't want to stifle well-meaning newcomers.
I know of a case where a newbie to another forum brought up a topic that was new to him, and that he had actually sought on that same forum. After not finding it, he posted his question. Unlike here, he was ruthlessly bashed for doing that.
He hasn't been back to that forum. I'd rather not chase people away, even gently.
