Last Remaining Lead Smelter In The USA Closing After 120 Years

You're comparing apples and oranges. In the example you just gave, not everyone may be a party to that verbal conversation. Here, every conversation is open and in written form that lives beyond a face-to-face encounter. The text is also searchable.

Don't make me report Common Sense to the Mods.

Be that as it may, what is the big deal about multiple threads on the same subject? If you could do it, would you actively go around a party trying to get the people who are talking about the same things into the same group? Maybe it would be good for their conversation, maybe it wouldn't, but it would definitely be socially unacceptable for you to do.

It would also be weird for me to ask around what everyone is and has been previously talking about, before I start up a conversation of my own.

If you don't start a fresh conversation, then your post is just an off spin of the OP, which maybe isn't what you want.

Bandwidth. why clog up a web site with numerous threads, worded differently on the same exact subject.

Have you ever been at a party talking to a guy, and someone comes up and says "hey, dipshits, they're already having the same conversation over there. Go join their conversation, or stop talking." or "Hey, some guys already had this same conversation here last week. Stop talking."

No, that doesn't happen, because its stupid. I never understood what the big deal is about discussing the same thing in a different place. Maybe this thread will go in an entirely new direction.

This comment is what's stupid. Your "analogy" is so flawed I don't even know where to begin with it.

Precisely. This isn't a cocktail party with folks milling about. It's a tad bit more organized than that.

Yeah, I get that a lot. It's a character flaw.

Hilary Clinton said in 08 that she wouldn't go after guns, we could have any and all guns including full auto, she would go after ammo. And now the EPA tightens regs on the one and only lead smelter left to where its not cost effective or reasonable to keep the plant open? Oh here is my surprised face.
