I think my note when I closed the thread was pretty clear:
The title of the original thread can still be seen in GQ, and anyone with information on the subject can easily post it in its new location in GD. If no one has posted such information yet, it’s likely that no one knows the answer. I don’t think you’re significantly more likely to get an answer with a new thread in GQ. And considering that the question relates to politics, and refers to three such controversial personalities as Cruz, Helms, and Wayne, the likelihood that it would be hijacked again is great. I see no benefit to having two threads on the subject when the question can easily be answered in the first one.
