It's a judgement call. Personally I left this one open because it's someone new who posted and returned for an answer so putting something that I might have put into a PM into the thread in an attempt to draw them out seemed nicer and more efficient. In my head, it's nicer to leave these things open than to shut them down, especially with newer folks. But if someone else came through and shut it down, I'm not going to shed tears.

And it's also a nice example to counter the next "nazi asshole" comment that I get.
