That thread was apparently locked becuase "the question had been answered" and its now some sort of PF offence for a thread to then wander off topic.

although if the question had been answered, then surely it would have been better off not deleted, and then this thread wouldnt have needed to be started asking the same question.

It really does feel at times like the mods on here get bored when there is nothing to do so try to create work for themselves utterly pointlessly doing things that are of NO useful benefit to the forum at all.
