When is it appropriate to post a topic similar to an old one?

I like it better if you post on the old one. I find it helps keep things organized and increases the chance that people will find answers to their questions that may well have been asked and answered before.

As a moderator, I’d rather split a topic off to a new one if necessary than have to search for an old one to attach a newly-posted but duplicate-y thread to.
