Randomex, maybe they (posters who wish to respond) can do whatever you did, and if the mods see fit to move their posts as well, they will.
The main problem would have been that no one would have known your post was there since they wouldn’t have thought to check a closed thread, but now you took care of that.
And I am assuming (hoping?) that your link (which I haven’t yet read) takes care of undoing the possible problems inherent in the thread.
