Shouldn't Discussions Have Expiration-Dates?

I can't really think WHY outdated topics (like 'America Finds Osama bin Laden') should have expiration dates, except to put them in a different 'category' than currently valid discussions.
I mean; I saw the 'US Finds bin Laden'-discussion listed as a "related" discussion on another discussion. It seems to me like that's the kind of discussion you ought to have to 'look for' to find, not the kind that has anything to do with anything we'd discuss today ...
Anyway, what do you think? SHOULD discussions here have an expiration-date, after which they are not ever listed among the "related discussions"?

@Hatley ..I feel the same, when I go through my old discussions I go back to the old times and the other day I got some responses for a discussion that I had started just before mylot stopped paying so there were comments to be responded to...It is good to go back from time to time ...

No because we can learn from where we were and what we thought. We being all of us.
Think about the young person (just at the age to start here) and they look back to the old topic and learn what our thoughts were and why.... and maybe start a discussion asking what we think now.
Or what if there is a great discussion about the cure for some illness that has lots of "try this" ideas that help someone?

i think after a certain time, discussions should be deleted all together. why even keep discussions from ten years back.

I disagree. If we change our minds on an old topic, we ought to be able to add the current views to it.

Do discussions have an expiration date do they? I have yet to see one lol! I really hope that they do not. I like replying to discussions that interest me. If a discussion is older, who knows, if might be made relevant again simply by somebody responding to it.

I do understand what you mean about that discussion. But I'm glad that discussions do not have an expiration date on them. I think it makes it nice to be able to reply to all kinds of topics that I would consider interesting.

I did not understand what you mean.
but I think any discussion is original, and updated for the man who created it, the thing it's exciting.
should not have dates and what is obsolete though things are and each of us has created a discussion because he cared about something.
nice day!
