All of this controversy is really the result of what used to be General Traveltalk now being on the Travel board. I suspect people now have the habit of posting stuff to Buzz that they would have posted to General Traveltalk in the past (although there was always plenty of random stuff in Buzz).

Given that Randy has decided to reorganize the boards as he has, it can only make sense to try to enforce some order to the system. If the Travel board withers away, then I suppose he might rethink the organization. But it seems to me the last thing we should do is to attack the moderators (not everyone is doing this but some are).

While there can be some genuine debate about what should be in MilesBuzz, there can be little question the threads that have been shut down don't fit within the definition of MilesBuzz. I also find it curious that there is criticism that the moderators have not shut down every questionable thread. That would surely have led to even greater discontent. It would appear that some people are upset that THEIR threads have been shut down. To the extent the moderators have become reluctant to shut down other threads, I think they should just go ahead, exercising their best judgment.
