"So is there a good reason to why it was closed?"

I think I remember locking this one because there was another thread on this subject. Usually I'll put a reason why a thread was locked, and this one doesn't have one, so perhaps is was another mod. Anyhow, there was already an active thread with the exact same article in the link.

We try to keep it to one thread per news story quote. Chaos would rein if there were multiple threads on the exact same subject.

Threads also get locked for TOS violations. Again, it's always my intention to leave a reason for any moderation at APC.

If you have other questions, feel free to PM HSLD or Freight Dog.
