Is there mileage in my closing threads after, say, three days, if there is no activity from the original poster ? Then, if I don't get any request to re-open, I'll delete it ?

Not an automatic policy, because people post fascinating replies sometimes, but I think we need to do something.



"if there is no activity from the original poster"
In my opinion should read "if the original poster has not answered a question directed at him/her"

In some of the better threads the original poster becomes a member of the gallery while those in the know sort out various options.

Otherwise I totally support the idea.
