So what do GNs think of Starmer’s decision to recognise Palestine as a state?

My house my rules applies to Gransnet management and to us its users. However there seems no advantage to Gransnet or its management in not explaining why this thread was closed.

Eh?
I've just looked at the thread you mention over a coffee, (I haven't been reading it).
GN did explain ..
This discussion thread has reached a 1000 message limit, and so cannot accept new messages.
I think when this happens, a new thread part 2 can be created?

Thread are always closed when they reach 2,000 posts.

1000?

Mine was the thousandth post so the thread naturally closes. All threads close after 1000.

1,000 I think. It closes automatically.

Once I'd typed out a post, it took me ages, but the thread had just closed before I got there!

"This discussion thread has reached a 1000 message limit, and so cannot accept new messages."

The management posted this, and either I dis nor see it or it has been appended later on. Sorry for making a fuss!

It was closed having reached 1000 posts

That must have been annoying!
Sometimes there have been threads where posters had fun trying to take them to 1000 posts, whilst loosely sticking to the topic! 😁

Caleo if you were about to post a comment when the thread reached it's limit please carry on.

Yes you are right. Title is wrong for the discussion.

Of course any fun sponges won’t agree.

May have been fun but best left in the past. Caused problems for some posters and for the mods when some posts were printed in the papers. Not ones that reflected well.
