Mindsky, I'm not asking for censorship.
When/where did I ever ask for any post to be deleted?
When/where did I ever ask for any user to be banned?
The only reason I asked for the thread to be 'locked' (not deleted) is that the longer it goes on, the more 'diluted' it becomes. Any new user seeing that thread will think twice before wading through 40 plus pages and will be sorely disappointed to realize that most of the useful discussion is in the first third of it.
Also, I suspect many will not read all of it and post a repeat question that was addressed at the beginning - further diluting it.
Maybe this is just highlighting the inadequacies of the format of discussion forums/boards in general.
Maybe we need more moderators to spot when discussions are 'in a rut' and steer them back 'on course'.
But let me repeat that I am not asking for posts to be deleted and users to be banned without good reason.
BTW Mindsky, why do you think this thread "is crap"?
