I didn't understand that reasoning either...and I see the "closed at the request of the OP" disease is back too...

Usually, the threads are allowed to continue and the members will straighten it out and at least mention the topic in 43 posts. So, again, sorry for giving a bum reason.

Note: Staff will consider a request from the original poster to remove a thread/post they have made provided it was recently posted and not replied to. As a general rule, staff will not consider such requests once a thread or post has been visible for at least 4 hours or received 2 or more replies. In these cases, a request from the OP to lock the thread is more appropriate and will receive consideration.
Since you were so obviously distraught, I felt compelled to honor your request to close the thread.
