How does RallyPoint handle duplicate topics that are years apart?

I understand having duplicate topics removed at times, but what if they're years apart? New people are joining RallyPoint all the time and some of the newer folk, such as myself, don't always see or want to respond to a topic from, for instance, the year of 2013. Are there ways to improve this, or should we simply respond to old topics?
I understand there is even a recent topic similar to this, but the aim of which seems slightly different. I'm all in favor of keeping topics if they have months or years between them, while the aforementioned topic seemed more for deleting them.

First you have to look at the header that pops up you post your question... and check those threads before you check "my question is new." But, I agree, this gets confusing, and many issues are cyclic.

What should be done about duplicate threads on same or similar discussions? | RallyPoint
I have noticed lately that there have been a number of instances where several folks have started threads on the same or similar topics (I include myself in this list). The RP engine offers similar topics, but often misses the ones that are identical. So, when you make a post on a hot topic (e.g. when Col Williams and I both started threads on the Baltimore Police Commissioner being sacked), how do you check if someone else started one like...

That's another thing I pick up from this, if that a lot of good comments or advice are missed out on because we never see those old discussions. But I'm trying more to direct this towards keeping duplicate questions, while from what I can tell, that post is more towards getting rid of them.
