Not to change the subject, or offend anyone, but IMHO locking a topic is ridiculous.
Yes, some go on and on needlessly, and sometimes get locked by the moderators, sometimes questionably.
But how many times has new or correct information come along that changes the minds and opinions of many of us in here?
And changes the whole point of the topic?
It's much easier to post new info on the topic in question, than to open a new topic about new info, referring to an older locked one that cannot be added to.
For example, on several other boards, members were so critical of and ridiculed the then new Duramax diesel (2001 IIRC) because of aluminum heads, saying the engines would fail, crack heads, or just blow up, and the threads were locked.
It turns out, that engine is one of the best and most durable pickup diesel engines ever made.
