Many (most) issues don't immediately resolve themselves, and often come back in cycles and repeat. I think there is sometimes value in referencing an old post, or bringing an older argument back up again, as it will have pertinence to something under discussion.
I'm also uncertain as to the effectiveness of what I understand to be the intent of the Necro Ban. If it is to keep threads that no one is commenting on any more from cluttering up the place.... if no one comments on it when brought back up, it will quickly sink back to the second or third page. But, if people do want to start commenting on it, well, that sort of indicates it's a worthy topic / take that people are interested in discussing debating.
Respectfully, I would like to request a re-consideration of that rule. I think we could benefit from not having it.
Yours,
Cpwill
