In summary, the conversation discusses the usefulness of the Physics Forum, with one person questioning the frequent closure of discussions. Another person defends the forum and explains that the staff works hard to maintain high quality content. The original poster seems to have left the forum and the thread is now closed.

PF has very diligent staff who endeavor to ensure high quality of content. Sometimes maybe people can become miffed because of a thread getting closed. For my little teensy part, I think that, on the whole, PF is a great forum set.

Update -- an off-topic subthread (started by me) has been deleted. Thread will remain closed until OP requests it re-opened.
