shepherds - it's a polite request, that's all. Out of common courtesy, I was hoping that critics such as yourself would confine their speculation to threads that have been started on that subject, of which at least one remains. You can also start up a new thread, and if the mods decide to close that down you can take the issue up with them, not me.
I'm certainly not laying down rules, I'm just politely asking that people leave this thread to those who wish to express gratitude. I regret that you lack the decency to respect others' wishes, even though you clearly have strong feelings on the subject.
