Hi Laslo!
I edited your thread title to reflect reality more closely...
But I guess you won't see this, since you said you were leaving the thread. Oh well, I shall explain on for the benefit of anyone else.
Threads are locked when they degenerate so far as to become useless. This is to prevent forum disruption and innocent bystanders getting sucked into the mudslinging.
I am personally in favour of leaving threads in the forum once locked, if they contain useful and relevant info. Hence, the thread you refer to is still fully accessible and will remain so.
Folks - thanks for the support. Thread locking is not something we want to do frequently because it kind of defeats the purpose of a forum, i.e. communication. I think most regulars know and appreciate that we all try to walk a line between total "order" (i.e. suppression of any controversial talk) and outright chaos.
