The REAL purpose is to provide balance, a modicum of order, a small pinch of housekeeping to the mad multiplication of bandwidth eaten up around here.

This eating up of 'bandwidth' caused by keeping threads open - sounds technical to me. When this thread was relegated to the BSI was told that this thread was not an issue for TECH thread. Which is it please?

I also thought that I had been told here that closing these threads or keeping these threads open for any future contributions - did not affect the technical running of the forum?
