We've all gone to sleep and its good night from me as well

Apologies to those concerned for just trying to help!!.

Seems some would have this place as something of a "Closed Shop" & an Exclusive Gentlemans's Club!!

No Gentleman's Club Martin !
John only pointed out that the Question had been answered almost immediately .
why are threads like this allowed to plod on for ages & other threads discussing something interesting
are often closed ,just because 2 grown men have a different perception of the thread (Debating} ??
another trip to the Naughty Step i suppose .

As Hurricane pointed out Col, one has the option to not read any further on subject matter they find boring rather than express Intolerance on the open forum & therefore publicly belittling members input.

Col how often do we close a thread, not very, the fact of the matter its usually at the request of the raiser. I cant recall us closing a thread that was not getting personal or was just becoming a tit for tat thread. You have quite rightly stated that Pete had something to moderate, the first in some time. No ones on the naughty step, thankfully the days of having to take action has passed.

Sadly it seems that there may still be the odd 1 that hasn't realised .
As for the needless intervention reprimanding us & informing of what we should & Should not do.

What i will say is Dont try & fix something that ain't Broke
Didn't work before & it wont work now

A drop of oil - veg' oil (or any is better than none) will help when cutting new threads - but not so important when cleaning out old threads.

Nevertheless Brian there should be some guidelines re Code of Conduct - are there any already in place??

Namely, the code of conduct becoming of a Gentleman would be a good start!!

Others could just do their best.
