Maybe the reason it hasn't been in the news is that there has been no natural movement on it. Perhaps when there is something further to report, then the thread should be revisited. Before then, will we really see anything more than re-hashing of the... extensive... arguments that precede this post? I think not.
By all means revitalise a thread when something new is there to debate. But please... not just because you are bored of an evening.
