On the contrary, I highly encourage you starting your own thread, knowing where you were I love others to share the experience.
Back to topic, I guess the brother when he talked about legalising Riba, he was refering to the Fatwa regarding Bank interest. However, I must say that the Imam in order to pass this Fatwa (according to his declaration on the newspapers), he said that bankers and other financial experts provided him with full info regarding the whole process. Based on studying this, he passed his Fatwa.
