Being a typical OP I guess rather reluctant to chime in here, but will
anyway. If convention dicitates when a concern has been solved that OP
closes the thread so to speak with a solved post then convention should
as well dictate that the helpers acknowledge the solved and drop the
thread. And Thorny it not just this list. It happens on others as well.
The only list in my limited experience that does not continue to offer
suggestions after a solved post is gparted and one wonders what makes
them different.
