I would like to second what burkey and SMessier said.

There are many employees from airlines actively posting on the boards, and I'm sure that employees from other companies are also lurking, hearing what we have to offer.

Randy and crew have recognized us for our difference in the industry, and as a FlyerTalker just like the next (even though I'm much newer than some), I would hate to lose this recognition.

Without sounding like an old mother, please, guys, use judgement. If you have a problem or gripe with another FTer, take it outside (via e-mail), not on boards. It's not worth it. In the future, ignore their posts and replies. As a community, we have gone far, and I'm afraid we are going to lose some of the finest, most interesting FlyerTalkers due to some poor judgement.

Off my soap box.

(PS: You won't notice any smilies here to lighten the mood of my post, because I don't think that this is a laughing matter. I love this community just like everyone else, and I don't want to see it crumble.)
