No, but while I can see its attraction I think it inappropriate for Rev 
or indeed for any other language of creative expression. Sure, we see 
the same question asked again (and again) but that is often helpful to 
newbies. More importantly, I see different answers touching on nuances 
of the original problem, or simply stylistically different ways of 
doing the same thing (and everyone has style preferences). So, when is 
a thread to be closed?
