I don't follow you. I'm not assuming it's inconvenient for them. It's very convenient. They just have to click a few buttons to reopen a question like that. I know for a fact that they really don't want them to remain open.

We know they don't want it open. The question is why.

dustingetz was speculating they don't want it open because it either hits too much on their database or doesn't make enough money from it.

My position is that they feel the question doesn't fit with the SE model and there's no ulterior/egotistical reason behind keeping it closed.

Oh, I see what you mean now. I mistook your original comment as being in agreement with him then. I thought you were saying that it was unfair for the moderator to close that question.
