Really!

Who knows?

Why were so many threads closed (without explanation)?

Is it because they
- were postings of news articles (I could kind of understand that, but I thought some of them were relevant to people who are interested in travel technology) or

- because there were so many posted in a short timespan? or

- because the moderators did not like the person who started the threads?



According to the explanation here, it seems to me that at least the threads about the AMD/Centrino (wireless technology), "Longhorn builds portable protection", "Apple Fan Sites Buzz with Talk of Photo-Ready iPod" were suitable for the forum?

Portable electronics (laptops, navigation equipment, portable projectors etc...); product recommendations, product support etc...
Huh?

Threads about similar topics were not closed...e.g. "Buying an IPOD?".

Oh well...this is probably derailing this thread here, but it is a bit confusing to see why these threads were closed like that.

Not that it is a huge deal by any means, but it's strange.
