I do find the similar threads feature useful. I usually try and search what's already been posted before posing a question. Many times I'll find the answer to my question and more often than not find things I hadn't even considered or knew I had a question about!
I also think it's ok to start threads on topics that some may consider have been covered multiple times. New forum members, new products, and new perspectives all come together to bring new ideas and views on the subject. I usually find unique information in each thread I review even if they are similar in topic.
