I can't say I understand the concept of thread ownership as it's been displayed here. A conversation on an Internet forum belongs as much to it's participants as it does to it's creator. Surely it makes little difference to you whether or not it runs on and on.
Regardless, I think I appreciate your sentiment otherwise. My comments were directed principally at those who would seek to dictate to others what may or may not be discussed here. In someone else's thread.
