If folks here were to agree that a thread “closing” process were a good way to concentrate convo and make it less ambiguous, would y’all be ok with closing this issue we’re in, for the reasons mentioned here:
(I recognize first poster usually “wins”, but I’d prefer to bend that convention since a forum newcomer has offered to do some work on this 
)
Will start a meta thread about forum convention on “closing” more generally.
EDIT: Let's enabled forum ability to close/reopen threads (clearer convo spaces for some topics)
