In light of recent events, when a thread gets cleared out, could the subject line say 'removed' instead of just 'moved'? The latter seems like the topic is accessible elsewhere on the forums.
Also, there was a link to an informative paper (FHWA?, US DOT?) that was linked to in the "What the hell is this?" (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=11599.0) topic...is there any way to relink that paper? I would PM the author of the post, but I have no way of seeing who posted it now that the thread is empty.
I found this in my browsing history (typed fhwa. and it was there)
http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/signinspection.pdf
but I don't remember the part of the paper that was being referenced.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the subject line.

Even though it was initiated by a troll, we did have a good discussion going on vibration dampers. I never knew what they were before.

OK, restoring what I can salvage of the topic.
Thanks for reposting the link and restoring the good parts of the discussion. :clap:
