I don't know where some of you get off expecting the mods to correct threads that are in violation of the rules... It's almost like expecting a police officer to pump air in your tires to avoid a fix-it-ticket for under inflation.... The mods are not babysitters.
The part I do agree on is; If your going to close a thread, A reason SHOULD be noted in the thread, Not just to inform the OP so he wont make the same mistake again, but because every member who participated in the thread is
entitled to know why it was closed.
