Someone (I believe) had already posted a thread, it was running, and yours closed in deference to it. That is not such a big deal is it? Later today, another user, started another thread on the same... it was closed as well.

The BBNews article is a totally different animal... Posts there are scheduled and it could have been written and posted hours before.

You're not stepping on toes, we can take honest criticism, although I don't know who closed your thread.
