[theme-reviewers] Request for theme removal on the forums.

[Chip Bennett]

This is what he actually requested in the ticket:

I need this theme deleted out so the name can be freed up for the new theme
I've created which is an entirely different project under a different
author/WP username.


Sounds like it's still something under his control. I see no reason to
bother Otto with a request that serves no apparent purpose. Cross-reference
against this request from the forums:

Then as a courtesy, I respectfully ask that for my personal privacy, this
topic be deleted.
...

This is a specific and private issue that I needed to look into that adds
no value to the community.

I only posted here because I was unable to find a more suitable method of
communication at the time.

I'm uncomfortable keeping this topic public at this point and I politely
and respectfully ask that you take that into consideration.

And now it just sounds like perhaps "TidyThemes" is being retired, and the
owner launching a new project/Theme shop, and wants to hide the
relationship between the two. More power to him, but I still see no reason
to delete forum topics or to delete a Theme in SVN.
