Thread Name: HI Max: What about Shambles requests?
Subject: RE: HI Max: What about Shambles requests?
These were the judgements imposed up on Susan's thread when closing it - made not by just one but two of our anonymous volunteer posters - - now hunting in packs - bless them both.

I am closing this. It is redundant and deals with the same issue as two other threads. It will just become another 1000 post thread with nothing new to add. Please use the existing threads.
Thanks, Mudelf

I see you have arrived first. Blessings upon you Mudelf....I have your back!.......FatClone

Does closing a thread because an anonymous volunteer fellow poster - judges there is to be danger of it receiving 1000 posts on a forum set aside by Max for that very purpose - set a rather worrying precedent? If any thread should attract 1000 posts - does our forum not judge the subject to be a popular one on our forum? Where does it say that our anonymous volunteer posters must close fellow poster's threads because they may become popular and before they have a chance to?
