Why is the snake oil topic closed?

if you miss it, read one of the many older threads on this,  they're all the same...

The snake oil thread isn’t closed, it’s here.

The thread is in fact closed, although it has not been deleted, meaning that the response box and consequently the ability to submit further responses to the thread are no longer present. And it no longer appears in "related to you" activity listings, apparently as a consequence of having been closed.

There was a troll thread that was closed earlier today. I think this was it here.

Good catch! The Snake Oil thread is not a troll thread. 😛

almarg had a response to a cable thread a few years ago, speaker I believe, that was a perfect summary of all these endless threads, concise and exactly on point...look for it

Thanks, Jl35.  My post that you are referring to appears near the bottom of this page:
