You shouldn't lock a thread, just because discussion seems to be over. Threads like this are kept open, in case someone else needs some clarification as to how concepts work.

OK, that makes sense. I wasn't sure what was appropriate, and I didn't think it would hurt to ask.

It's fine to ask about anything, but if the thread is unneeded, it'll grow old and die on its own, don't worry...

i hope he knows the difference between 100 and one thousand and between 10000 and one million, there could be some bad trades if not.
