If you've been around FlyerTalk for any amount of time - you know that I'm very comfortable taking responsibility for things gone wrong (even if i/we are only in the area). But this time - I think it only fair to point out the cause of our problem.<snip>
For once, we'll assign the blame. Go talk to those members to again ask them how cool they are. Really (good) cool people don't damage things.</font>
I'm also comfortable taking the blame when part of it belongs to me, and I guess this is one of those times.
I sincerely apologize for adding extended ASCII characters to my posts, which caused Flyertalk to break. Note that this has never happened on ANY other UBB board, or any other BBS-type system, so I had no idea that a simple &nsbp; character would cause Flyertalk to a screeching halt 2 weeks later, and cause it to be down for over a day, while the administration diligently worked to bring it back online and repair the damage that I caused.
So, Randy (and all of the FT community), I am very sorry, and I hope you will accept my apologies for the downtime. As punishment, I am sentencing myself to a one-week timeout.
