Thanks.*
Third.

Well, better one post rather than multiple posts all over the place.
Fully agree that one thread should have been sufficient and, indeed, is, just not THIS thread. The irony comes in that THIS thread came AFTER my post about the deal. My post had apparently come after others that had been deleted and thus SEARCH didn't find any other threads (yes, I checked b4 posting). The mods locked MY thread which discussed the offer directly and left THIS thread for complaining about the other threads. Which would have served the comminity better, leave a thread about the offer open and able to post in OR remove them all and leave a thread for bitching about the other threads?
Your answer comes in the choices of the mods:
Delete any thread dealing with the Messiah deal (except..)
Leave a thread created AFTER all the other threads for bitching about the Messiah threads (for people to continue to bitch about them).
Priority 1: Stop people from discussing Messiah deal
Priority 2: Enable users to bitch about Messiah threads
Had the mods left ONE thread about the deal, users could have had reasonable conversations about it and a place to do it in. But NOOOO. They insisted on removing or locking the threads. I guess they finally got the message that folks wanted to discuss Messiah and thats why they left this thread alone. I guess.
And the irony? Users took over the bitching thread to use for discussing the messiah deal. Heh, revenge is sweet.
That is the irony of it all that I referred to.
