Archangel,

When Tom originally started that thread, he envisioned it to close, eventually. (Check out the initial post).



Lately, folks were having rather lengthy delays in accessing the thread. Considering that it had 33,000+ posts, that's not surprising.

So, in a nutshell, and since Sarika had started up a new one, it seemed the right time to pass the torch to the 'next generation'.




(Thanks to Dawg for re-sticking the thread.)
