I can't see any reason why it should have been closed. The "close thread" link is in a location where a volunteer could click it accidentally and not notice, so it may have been closed inadvertantly. Whatever the case, I don't think it should have been closed. I reopened the thread.

Just for the sake of completness (and for those posters still with a sense of humour). The thread in question has now been closed by Joe Offer. Who now knows which anonymous volunteer fellow poster was responsible but after publicly speculating that the first closure may have ben a accident - is not at liberty to confirm to our forum - if this was in fact the case.
