I'll admit I haven't slogged through the whole thing (*yawn*), but after seeing who started the thread and who closed it, I had a bit of a giggle. Is that kosher? Funny what happens when you've got secret ID's.

Any thread originator can request to have a thread closed.
Smac just bypassed "asking" to have it closed since it would have essentially been himself that he would have been asking.

I like to think that Smac did send Rhad a pm. That's the way I want to view it and so I will. :D

I hope there was a Two Towers-esque multiple personality scene featuring Smac/Rhad in the roles of Gollum/Smeagol.

Still smells funny. He should either close it down as himself, or ask another mod to close it for him - there's plenty of mods that can do it. Kinda like when you work a cash register at a store, you don't ring up your own transaction - you get another cashier to do it for you. Keeps things looking clean.

If I had closed it under my mod name, I would have simply commented that it was "Closed at the request of thread originator" (as we do in those situations). It just seems like six of one/half a dozen of another to me.
Edit:
by the way, I'm not a mod. It was a joke, but I just realized some might take me seriously.

They might be forced to form a double secret society and refer to themselves as "The Julianns".
LOL, Oh, too true. I think they'll have to place Rhad/smac on double secret probation as well. He may not have what it takes to be one of the "Juliannes" if he can't keep his identity secret.
I wonder if he ever has that problem when introducing himself to someone in public... Hello, I'm Joab. oop's forget that. That's my New Name. My real name is.....
You know, keeping all these secrets straight can be difficult at times!
