Well, judging from the fact that doc is actively emailing folks about FT threads instead of posting on FT, I think it is quite obvious that he is in fact serving a "Flyertalke time-out" like I originally said ... note I never said who imposed the time-out, and taking Randy's statements at face value, it is apparently a self-imposed "Flyertalk time-out" and not one imposed on him by someone else ... or is "Flyertalk time-out" a legally defined and/or copyrighted term that would not apply if it is self-imposed?
