I've no problem with leaving the thread open (and will do as it seems that's what people want). I simply suggested it as the thread itself lacks focus e.g. so far today it's covered sql, the source package, folksonomy and forums vs q&a amongst other topics- IMHO it would have been better to have separate threads where those could have been properly debated in depth, hence my suggestion. There is no attempt at censorship - locking leaves all content open and we've locked other threads in the past when they've ran their course.

(sorry, even I am unable to sort this discussion into multiple threads, but would like visitors to get to know!)
