I suspect, but can't prove it, that he is addressing certain issues by proxy, i.e. through certain other active FTers.

It is possible that he has simply been told to stay off flyertalk until xxxxx time.

He has been lurking on the board on and off over the last week or so. I have seen his handle in the "Currently Active Users" box several times. He's keeping tabs on us.. Sott: you can run but you can't hide. We see you.
