Like to know why a thread was closed in an open forum?

[Willgotthepower]

I started a thread yesterday asking a simple question of which i think was a perfectly innocent question as i was genuinely interested in knowing what an ADs profit margin was and it has been closed by a moderator. Thus, i cannot reply to people who took the time to reply to my original question and also some people posted some negative comments like why would i want to know and whats it got to do with me?? err hello im a buyer and they are a seller of course i would like to know what they earn..thats not to say i dont think they are entitled to earn as much profit as possible to cover rent overheads etc...but shoot me down if ive asked a cardinal sin of questions...jeez i thought this was an open freedom of speech type of forum...Most ADs are huge companies whose staff i probably know more about rolex then they do so sorry if ive hurt a big corporations feelings by asking what they earn...
