Could not slowing everyone down for no better reason than pumping rubbish out concern you? Would you pay for a bigger pipe to cater for stuff you might prefer to be without?

If the pipe was designed for the sole reason of pumping rubbish - rubbish is rubbish.

Jon - our forum is specifically designed for posters to post to and if it can't deal with the volume required - to my mind this is a technical problem and requires a technical solution - or perhaps recognition that there are not the funds available for such a solution.

However - what is considered to be rubbish or not on our forum - is a matter of personal taste - and is not a technical problem and will never have a technical solution - even with unlimited funds available.

But I have no idea whether having similar information in different threads - is in fact presenting any real technical bandwidth concern to the running of our forum or not. Perhaps you would be a better judge of this than I am - and could inform us?

I can however understand that those of us who need to be in control and like to see things to their taste may find this and many other things that their fellow posters do - to be irritating and not to their personal taste.

But perhaps the answer is for these people to finally accept that no one does have any control over the taste or postings of others on our forum?

And apparently no contol over the still anonymous volunteer fellow poster who wrongly closed this thread or no control over the ability of our forum to apparently decide to automatically close this thread - all on its own.*Smiles*
