cant rem who removed. but basically the thread kept getting
revived, and there was no progress in the discussion when it got
revived - the same arguments were made. the latest additions
inflamed some other members as well. so it was decided tt the
thread outlived its usefulness. anyway it was too long - no one
could possibly finish reading the entire thread. ppl will prob den
jus post something without reading if it has been covered b4. hence
the situation.
