A good example being the 22t freewheel (saw the thread after it was merged, so not sure which one it was in), a lot of folks, not just beginners, are still after big freewheels because of how difficult they are to come by. Also, if a beginners' gear thread is ignored by non-beginners, how would you find out if the suggestions were good/bad? A lot of opportunities and experience would be lost thanks to a separate thread.
And Mark responded quite nicely to that point.

I know, I know, the discussion is dead.
