I linked to your message 1 not really as a reply to your message. It was more just to connect the link to the message 1. An alternative would have been to edit the link message onto the message 1. Another alternative would have been to close your new topic and force the discussion back to the older topic.
You may or may not have a topic theme change in your new topic. Regardless, your new topic is directly related to the other topic. I supplied the link in case anyone wished to go to the back-story topic.
I closed the previous topic since I viewed this new one as a continuation of it. If someone wishes to present a case for the previous topic being reopened, the should go to the
Thread Reopen Requests topic.
I am not going to enter this debate other than as a moderator.
There is no need for anyone to respond to this message. So don't do such.
