You can ask a mod to lock it. People like to do that when they aren't getting the answer they want to hear. Personally, I think it interupts the flow. Usually the discussions are useful.
That reminds me of something I used to see regularly on other forums (or could have been here, been so long I don't remember).
I recall at least one poster here or elsewhere, where after they get their answers, they actually ask for the entire message thread to be deleted. No. That is an example of poor forum manners. Your question and the answers are expected to be available for others to find who may have the same question sometime down the line; especially if it turns out your post is the only one found where the Q got publically answered instead of the long string of search results with the same Q but only Me Too replies (or no replies at all).
Not sure what the motivation is to want your posts deleted after getting answered. Years later, I still scratch my head at that one.
If it works, sell it. If it works well, sell it for more. If it doesn't work, quadruple the price and sell it as an antique.
