Curious about a locked thread in the cafe.

[BslBryan]

Here's the link. It was closed, and a reason was cited, "not a[n] ubuntu issue" - but it's in the cafe, where non-ubuntu topics live. It's not mine, and I didn't even post in it, but is there a better explanation? Thanks

Issues with sites like Newegg etc are best directed at the site management, posting here is irrelevant and pointless.

Also we have no way to verify the facts.

...and I intend to post this conversation across as many internet tech forums as possible.

OP accomplished goal.
