One more time, robomatic. Jim did not blow up the Gaza thread. If anyone is remotely interested in checking, the thread ended on April 4, by the way. In its last couple of days it spluttered to as vile and negative an ending as I've seen here in a long time and I asked a moderator to consider closing the thread. The answer I received indicated that the mod hadn't dipped into the thread for a while but would look at it and consider the request. A final silly post from bobad gave the mod just the cue they needed. You are very bitter about the closure. Too bad. I've had several of my threads closed, hijacked or drifted out of existence. I don't care. There'll be a next time. There always is. Think of a thread as a helium-filled party balloon. Once you've launched it it goes its own way, no longer under your control, and you are happy with that otherwise you'd have kept it on a rope. Let it go.

Yes, really. April 4. Over three weeks ago!
