ORIGINAL POSTER

I 100% realize that comments are being closed early on posts to keep this place from turning into the complete shit stain that is nearly every other Thai expat group but.... I can't help that feel that mods are closing things a bit early. I've read several posts now that I would like to add relevant experience to, but comments are closed several hours earlier while the initial question/topic hasn't been fully discussed imo. Any suggestions for middle-ground here?
