         | Too bad I can't reply to any of the comments in that thread.
         | I'm guessing old threads are locked to prevent spam? Perhaps
         | they can be "thawed" for a short time if a mod links to it in a
         | situation like this.

           | It's my understanding that 'warming up' old topics like this
           | is not a problem, and that commenting links to the previous
           | threads is more for reference than to chastise.

           | Dilettante_ is correct: links to past threads are just to
           | satisfy readers who might be curious for more.
           | 
           | You're also correct: threads are closed to new comments after
           | 2 weeks. That's for a bunch of reasons, e.g. to preserve the
           | history of the site.

       | I was once in Mauritzhuis where the girl with the pearl earing is
       | displayed and bumped a display (Accidentally) and an alarm went
       | off. But it took almost a minute for security guards to reach the
       | site. Clearly they do not have anything that links the alarms to
       | video capture events to help them sort these out. That's tragic.
       | It's such a simple thing to arrange.
