Let's make something clear here - moderators do have the right to make a comment as an individual member of this community. not everything they say can be construed as "offical". If there is a time when they stretch that, they know when they are wrong and i think have shown they can accept any consequences for that line. There aren't many long time members who have not from time to time crossed some line. I'm sure moderators have come to learn to be more "moderate" of their personal posting and in hindsight - that's a lesson to have been learned for FlyerTalk into the future.

Let's appreciate the time and efforts this group provides FlyerTalk and overall, I think we're better for their presense and I am willing to be patient as this group learns. now that we have that out of the way, I'm ready to announce the next Moderator....see other thread.
