I do not normally post here, but as someone involved with the above mentioned thread and a mod of another (very different) forum, I am tempted to add to the discussion.
Threads can be like a plant, a seed is sown and sometimes it will exist for a few days then wither and die. Other times it will find a fertile soil and thrive (like some of the 1,000,000 view ones here). But once in while, a pest of one form or another will come along and cause disease or a canker.
On the above thread, (IMHO) the pest was the planter of the seed. The thing was planted on very fertile soil (the sort of performance art involved has a large following on the net and in this forum), but the seed was doomed pretty much from the start, only a freely available version of what was 'promised' would have been an acceptable outcome.
When you consider the subject matter that this forum deals with, 99.9% of the time, things are friendly and everyone is very helpful. That is a tribute to the moderators here, I hope the odd 'bad apple' will not change the way things are being done too much.
