Please close the thread, the original issue and the major sidebar have been fully discussed.
Thank you.
Since when does someone, even the originator of the thread, have the right to just close a thread that's not breaking the rules?
Every thread ever posted on FR eventually gets side-tracked at times.
Ever hear of "the neeners?" But that's no reason to end the thread.
Sign off, maybe. Put the house on the market. Change your phone number. Leave the country.
But not end the thread.
