Thanks gleff, yes had not seen Randy's note at top of the forum when I posted here ... as at that time it was NOT there! Was just rtrying to give Dan and John a heads up here in case FT was crumbling again .. that's how it looked so they might possibly nip it in the bud etc.

They all belonged in OMNI (or somewhere) many hours ago was my thought so I agree 100% with Randy's response.

I am alarmed at the recent rash of threads in this forum that seek to sponsor or create the apprearance of segregated "Do's." I'm sure some are in jest and we can all laugh at those, however, it is also apparent that some are taken with serious intent and that becomes a problem - especially for me.

Throughout my time with frequent flyer programs and with FlyerTalk, I have sought to provide an exchange of members of these programs that allowed me to communicate and exchange with members as diverse as markbach, oz, doc, travel4free, PremEx and Punki. That is exactly how FlyerTalk will continue. I will only continue to sponsor and offer FlyerTalk if it remains a true melting pot of members - of all miles, ages and interests in these programs.

As a result, I will remove these threads related to this topic to my personal forum 'Only Randy Petersen' and will allow them to continue and perhaps even amount to something, but I can't allow them to represent in FlyerTalk Community what I think flyerTalk is all about.

You got questions? I got answers. [email protected]
