My post #10 indicates TWO different wordings when locking the thread AND a prompt to the OP on how to reopen if needs be. Hopefully OPs will be intelligent enough to realise what to do and not get irate with mods/admins.
This process works well on other sites and I have no reason to think it would work differently here.
Fed ... no, I'm afraid I don't know him/her. I only know a few people at ASAP itself. Actually, I think they could do with help themselves on their own HJT analysis work. People become members of ASAP not necessarily to help out at that site but to carry on whatever work they were already doing on other sites.
As to a "HJT training" sticky I've said already that I would be happy to put something together but I do need the authority/approval of site admin to do it, I think. Especially if site admin is to pin it as a sticky.
CBMatt ... yes it would be excellent to have our own HJT training school but, as you say, the resources required would be massive. Anyway, as you already know, there are plenty of excellent training schools already around.
