Argh! Careful mods about shutting down threads based on hypotheticals

2) As far as I can tell, the mods are volunteers and probably don't have the time to carefully parse every statement in every post. If it looks like a duck, they shoot it. I've admin'd and mod'd on several sites - it's not a fun job and can demand a lot of one's time.

3) Personally, I think a few threads have been needlessly/prematurely locked, but then I refer myself to item #1. I suppose if I felt strongly enough about a particular thread getting locked, I'd send a polite PM about it to a mod.

I don't think street racing should be discussed here. That was never my point.

I expressed my appreciation for the mods and the very reasonably reply provided.

PMs are fine, except where one is inviting a thoughtful discussion, which is why it was inappropriate for me to send a PM.

I didn't word that very well. I should have made #1 a general statement and not about street racing in particular.

It was meant for general consumption and not directed at you. The subject is certainly worthy of discussion and you make some good points.
