Is this thread really closed? The bug report above indicates this thread has been 'closed'.

I agree that this thread has run its course. The action to actually close a thread on OpenACS.org should not be take lightly. In fact, without the ability or will to actually remove the offending participants (of which I was one, I admit) from starting new threads, the action might backfire.

In a public forum, a poster is their own worst enemy, or their only savior. In a long lived community like OpenACS.org, many of us will eventually say something we shouldn't, or something we later regret. Personally, I do this all the time. Others can point out my defect, that is their right, and maybe their obligation.
