Unlocked. I may have pushed a wrong button (?). Oops (I don't think that happened, but possible). I haven't heard from any other moderator that it should be locked.

OK, thanks. I had to check the RoC to even make sure it was OK to ask about a thread lock (fortunately volumes 1 through 57 of the RoC are completely silent on the subject of thread locks. Maybe they are mentioned in volumes 58 through 97?)

Red is for right hand threads and blue is for left hand threads.

(I wonder if this political discussion can get this thread locking thread locked?)

And if That didn't do it, you may need some of this:

You can moderate sober?

Can you guys put a brief note on the reason for the lock at the end of a thread? Sometimes it isn't obvious.
