I just said that your criteria for this would have to be applied to all threads
Of course.

What? What? Did you actually sit and think and come up with that logic? All I stated is that numerous factors need to be considered before a thread can be closed. Why should this one be handled according to the same protocols as were used in closing others? This is where you imply that I agree with those closures. If I don't, clearly I will not advocate reimplementing those standards.

Yes, the arguments I've used here should be applied to all threads. No, that doesn't mean we should collect every reason ever used in closing a thread and pretend their application would be valid in this case.

I mean benefits that could be made from that topic from continued posting
Benefits for whom?

That isn't piggybacking a thread
Given that the term exists only within your own mind, I think I could be excused for misusing it. Of course, since I didn't use it at all...

yes, if the point was made, and soemone started an unrelated topic, it would be grounds for thread split, and then closing the one that served it's purpose.
And now we've come full circle, without you providing anything in support of your cause. Why should it be closed? Give me one positive reason (ie, anything that doesn't fit the form 'why not?').
