Jeff-
I just read for the first time "My Brithday is Coming" thread and saw that it was locked.
Your opening statement
"I've received a number of emails suggesting that the first post in this topic is a lot more preachy than necessary to convey holiday greetings. Here's an email excerpt that says it pretty well."
Has me wondering something.
What was the ratio of the number of e-mails in proportion to the contributing number of members of the forum?
Also If a larger number of members wrote you expressing their dissatisfaction with you locking the thread qwould you open it up again?
Shuld we just skip the 25th of december and go to the 26th?
There was nothing offensive in that thread and the fact you locked it shows you caved to a minority of the members.
