Oh wow, what is this "locking the thread" thing you speak of? I've never heard of such a thing, may it perhaps... lock the thread to prevent people from posting in it?
Can't.
This is the nightmare I cannot overcome. The end is neigh. Woe is me.
He persists like a demon in the corner of my eye.
I am forever literally kept hostage in his talons of chaos.
Please help.
