I put a post on this board yesterday, and I came back today to see if anybody had replied to it(I thought maybe my e-mail was messing up, it wouldn’t have been the first time)and I saw that it was already closed!! Now, Admins, I’m not pissed off that you closed my thread without telling me or anything, but, why did you close it so soon?
INAM, but I would guess that with all the excitement, there are a LOT of double threads going on.
In this pretty hectic and emotional time, you’re going to have to be extra vigilant in doing searches and making sure your topic isn’t already covered. The mods are just trying to keep things as clean as possible.
Last night was very hectic and the boards were very slow (for me anyway). It takes much more bandwidth and time to post to and move a thread and then post the URL in the moved threads thread than to simply close it. Your thread was not a general question, but a rant against the terrorists. Such rants belong in the BBQ Pit and not in General Questions. The BBQ Pit is already full of similar threads, so it doesn’t need another one.
This thread too belongs in the BBQ Pit: “This is the place for all complaints and other discussion regarding administration of the SDMB”. Feel free to restart this thread there if you want to, because this thread is closed.
