On most cases the topics are locked to prevent further comments on a subject, either because it is gathering hostilities or no further comments are necessary or wanted.  Also used so that another person doesn't come in and hijack the thread with what they believe to be a similar issue, and then it's not. Then the thread becomes a 2 issue thread and harder to find in the future.  It is better to just start a new thread.
If you find the site helpful, consider becoming a contributing member.  It pays for costs and keeps this site alive.  I do not respond to requests for private, one-on-one help. Your questions should be posted in the appropriate forum where they may help others as well.

I know what you mean, I like to read the longer threads with lots of people adding to the discussion. But it can turn a thread into a rambling blog, and really the thread is supposed to be about 1 issue and its resolution. There are a few NLG forums/areas where the rambling is unlimited, general chitchat and such. But most are meant to be a resource for problem solving and that means keeping it on topic and as short as reasonably possible. The moderators have to use their judgement, I think their aim is to keep the site organized and guide a discussion thread. Some of us need some herding now & then. <grin>
