Hum, i think that Paul M passed too much time on vB.org these last weeks, maybe it's time to rest a little and calm down ?! it's christmas time, and there is no panic button here actually...

the thread you are referring to that was closed just after my own post have the REASON in my own post... it is clear, and if you don't understand this, maybe it's because you wanted only to add your own 2¢ and it was not really necessary...

people wants to have all rights in all situations, but i don't think it's good... i would, as an experienced site admin, have closed and hard-deleted that thread myself, instead of closing it... because it was obvious that nobody was in need to answer this, and the user would have been banned... and internal rules have not to be announced and advertised to all just because it's a public site... does Bill Gates call you at home to tell you that a client was not happy with Windows ?!... no, even if you have the right to know... that's all.
