If I may ask, what is the history of the movement of the thread in question (the Farrow thread, not AHunter’s)? I can’t tell from reading it - there is a mention of moving it into GD, and I gather from this thread that it spent a while in the Pit. So … am I right in assuming it started in Cafe Society, got moved to the Pit, and then got moved again to GD? ---

Started in Café, reasonable in a way as about a Celeb, but the material was much more GD or IMHO material. I moved it to the Pit at first as I wanted it out of the Café. I was told it wasn’t a pit thread and basically should not be moved there but GD was a reasonable place for it, so the third move. Another mod decided it was a trainwreck and not worth debating and closed it, but it looks like we’ll probably reopen it as it is covering new ground. We’re learning. ---
