Two things:
- there is a sticky about 2.1 and questions related to that coming update
- the above fact has been posted in other threads about the 2.1 update, by long-time users here and by moderators
Now we have a moderator coming into a 2.1 related thread and declaring it a "valid question." I don't find his question any more valid (or less) than the many other 2.1 related threads that have been locked or at least admonished by, again, long-time users and moderators.
Those coming in to these threads to remind the OP that it's a bit much have been, by and large, following the posted notions of, yet again, long-time users here and moderators.
The length of the thread is not the issue, of course. It's the quantity of these types of threads on the exact same subject, as pointed out by, yet one more time, long-time users here and moderators.
