at this time: whenever - after the usual 'connection-time' crisis every Wednesday - Flyertalk 'responds' fast again.
In general: the way some Flyertalk-'oldies' managed in the early days to make this board entertaining, fun, informativ, gentlemen/-women-like ... and at the same time how 'we' managed to limit 'flamings' and 'trolls' to a reasonable minimum.
past: (very personal) the reactions and contacts of so many Flyertalk-colleagues and Webflyer-personnel, when/after the SR-crash happened in early September 1998 as the travel dates (but fortunately not the carrier: we flew LH JFK-FRA-ZRH) for our return-trip from New York to Zürich (Gisela and I) were the same.
