I believe that is a decision that should be made by the list 
administrator, not you.  Until the administrator closes the topic it 
would be open to discussion by interested users of the reflector to 
present their suggestions or points of view.  If you were at a City 
Hall meeting where some public forum was being discussed would you 
jump up and say its time to end the discussion?  I think not.  You 
would wait for the person in charge to end the discussion.  Of course, 
you could leave anytime you wished.  I believe the same decorum stands 
on reflectors.  Have you ever been on Jury Duty?  Do you end the 
discussion or the jury foreman?
