Anyhoo...At least we get a break--for now.
He might have better luck if he reported the thread to the mods and asked in that way, but really they shouldn't close a thread just because an OP says they are done with it. Threads take on a life of their own and may be of use to others. They should be closed only when they get too off topic, abusive, offensive, or otherwise don't comply with site policy. At least that is how I see it. The mods may have a different opinion and they have the last word.
