reply   WRT your note I too considered whether a deletion review was in order  I would however have tried to conduct a civil dialogue with the closing admin first  Per AAGF I would always do my best to strictly follow the guidelines and make sure my questions of the closing admin were respectful of their being a volunteer trying to do their best  I am sorry to inform you that you and Stifle are mistaken if you think this is always useful  In my experience some administrators cant be bothered to make any effort to respond to question  Many other administrators give pro forma replies that are basically just a big Foxtrot Oscar
