When a moderator decides to lock it, they push a button and voila!

When a thread deviates from the OP or denigrates into nothing but name calling it is going to get locked... it might get reopened after some cleanup or it might be left to die.

By the way....The Pcad thread reopened and moved to the road foo thread located HERE (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=491560&page=18).
