	Rob the Mod said why: "With a winner declared, and a new thread coming along I will lock this one." Just keeps the forum tidy. No harm. Winner will start a new thread in good time. ____________

	If you look a few post further up the thread you will see that there was a request to lock when the winner was declared. A bit of guidance here - it has become a trend to start a new "guess the picture" type thread when there are about 400-600 posts in the old one - it just makes it a little easier to see what's going on and keeps the game fresh. (Now for the pedants among you - I don't consider j mercer's question as even approaching discussing a mod's action, but merely someone asking for a bit of guidance and help.) ____________ Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?
