Sorry if that pisses people off but it seemed a better option than what appeared inevitable if it continued the way it was going.
Actually dadndave, I started a good thread and we had a nice discussion going. It was after someone moved it to off route the second day that the typical off route bickering began and made the thread useless.
If you guys would leave such threads in the General forums, both where such things are not allowed and where they would be diluted by more participants (since folks can see it on the front page), then such things wouldn't happen.
The thread was in good shape while it was in the California forum. Leave threads there and surgery won't be necessary.
