Thank you, Pinto. Yeah, I'm calling you out.

Thanks for the most thoughtful and well reasoned thread-lock I have seen. I appreciate your candor and efforts in keeping a thread as civil and informative as possible.

And a thanks to the other mods involved, whomever you may be. :toast:

1. This is a continuation of a locked thread, actually.

:hi:

2. RRRRR!!!! Don't get me started, now!

LOL.... This isn't intended to be a continuation, just some appreciation.

3. It's not appreciation. That could be done in a private message.

It's instead designed to be a YEAH!!! to the rest of DU about your approval for the thread lock.

I didn't see the thread, so I don't have a preference for or against the lock. I'm just calling a spade a spade

4. It was my thread.

and it was a difficult call for the mods and I believe they acted wisely. I wanted to say this in a public forum rather than private.
