In re "locking threads" --
I thought a more recent thread was under discussion, and frequently, members are unaware that threads are locked by the server after a time so I mentioned that fact. Nor do I typically revisit past threads, as dealing with the present takes a fair amount of time.
However, given the attacks in this thread, I will only reaffirm my commitment as a scientist, moderator and former CALS that members here will always be able to tell the difference between fact and opinion in what I write. And if anyone isn't sure, please ask.
I don't keep a record of any threads I close and only a fuzzy memory of past discourse re RCH4. Because our members often have great difficulty in typing, clicking, scrolling, reading, etc. the moderators have the obligation to merge duplicate threads, move threads that are in the wrong place, remove spam, close discussions that are unproductive, threatening, abusive, etc. That is our commitment to keep these forums as helpful as possible for our members.
So anyone who doesn't find this site helpful can simply try another; we do not hold a monopoly on P/CALS support.
For everyone's information, the ALS Association has no affiliation, sponsorship or other association with these forums.
Best,
Laurie
