I am pretty sure that no one has ever been forced to open any thread.

I am pretty sure that no one has ever been forced to post and refresh any thread.

I am also pretty sure that no thread has ever decided to close itself.

And I am sure that this thread was re-opened - for the person who re-opened this thread has posted to explain why they decided to re-open it.

I still do not know why this thread was closed - for some unknown reason - by some unknown person who is still trusted with an edit button and still able to anonymously impose their judgement upon the contributions of their fellow posters.
