This is Peter's board to do what HE wants to do with it. If Peter. wants to lock a topic for any reason it is his to perogative to do so. If he wants to take suggestions he will, if he doesn't that is also his perogative.

Bottom line:
Peter pays for this board, it is Peter's bandwidth & he can do whatever he wants to do , whether you & I or anyone else likes it or not.

DEAL WITH IT!!!!!
