1. RewriteRule ^topics/([a-zA-Z-]+)

- inside a set has a special meaning so you have

to escape it:

RewriteRule ^topics/([a-zA-Z\-]+)

It is definitely correct this way, but I don't get

why is it not 

correct at the original form. As I remember, in perl

regular expressions
- only has a special meaning inside [] if it is not
in the first or
the last position. So [A-Z-] should be equivalent of
[A-Z\-],
while [A-Z] not equivalent of [A\-Z].
