So since it was the pulling of a duplicate thread and the thread is linked above, can we just post this up to an instance of house cleaning by the Merry Maids (tm) and forget the storm trooper, book burning, jack booted thug usual rhetoric that seems to ginned up every time something happens on this site?

[Mr. Lucky]

We could, but I suspect we won't.

What I usually see is the Moderator locking the thread as a duplicate with a link to the original when this occurs. It does save a lot of questions and hurt feelings when they do it that way.

That takes all the fun out of it.
