Why lock the thread? Because you are wrong? I personally believe that any person who reads that the .NET Framework (BY MICROSOFT) is required for RunUO, and does not know how to conduct a simple search at
www.microsoft.com, is too moronic to run a shard. Does that include you? I hope not... now about that debate.... It seems you and a few others who are witless are the only ones who realize the need for serving people without common sense as well.
