Yes. I have emailed Randy on more than one occasion on this topic.

The first time was in October. Then, cblaisd informed me of the groudrule that everyone, except for moderators, should follow: "If you are not interested in a thread, don't post." clblaisd was even cc'd in that email as it was his suggestion.

Anyways, if I can't ASK Randy here in this forum, Where can I ask it???

I'm sure he does appreciate everyone speaking for him.

Again, I point out the incongruity that lies on FlyerTalk:
A) The T&C says that posts that condone Illegal Activity (i.e. fraud upon any program) "will be removed".
B) The description of the Coupon Connection states, "This is N-O-T a forum for anything related to the buying, selling or bartering of airline awards."
C) The Unofficial Coupon Connection FAQ notes that it is technically agianst the airline's rule to barter.

YET, posts that explicity seek a trade regarding these upgrades are still permitted to occur. Again, I would appreciate it if someone can explain how this can be as it is the root of my confusion.

I SUGGEST that a new disclaimer should be put on flyertalk.com and the Coupon Connection which reads something along the lines of, "A place where you can break the rules but we don't care."
