Harry,
You want the thread closed down because it's going nowhere? It hasn't been going anywhere since Dropp tried to draw a comparison between the 380 and a Tudor warship - which was the, um, first post...
Funnier though, is that one poster actually lamented the lack of professional debate on this site, based on this thread. Clearly somebody whose intellect is firmly lodged in the same orifice as his sense of humour. And it's not his cranium, hoss.
