How sad that the same FlyerTalkers keep harping and harping and harping about doc. 
Why can't we just get along?

If you don't like the way a particular member posts to FlyerTalk, ignore that member. Ignore their posts.
Why keep crying to our gracious host again and again and again? It's not like Randy hasn't made perfectly clear his feelings toward doc and his posts. Numerous times he has told us to get along.
So why do so many FlyerTalkers adamantly refuse to follow Randy's explicit instructions?
Even the OMNI moderators have now joined the fray, demanding that FlyerTalkers not reply to threads they alone deem too "old" to warrant a legitimate reply. They even threaten FlyerTalkers with suspension and banishment for refusing to follow their whimsical additions to the FlyerTalk TOS. 
Today, skofarrell admits that replying to old threads does not violate the FT TOS. Presumably the threats to cancel FlyerTalkers' accounts for replying to threads he deems too old to warrant a reply will likewise cease.
Perhaps the OMNI moderators can now see their way to closing the thinly-veiled anti-doc threads as they appear instead of allowing them to continue all day (long enough to garner 49 replies). Or have the OMNI moderators chosen sides?</font>
This OMNI Moderator has a life. In case you're interested, I spent a good 10 hours today at work, and this evening at an ice cream social for my 2 youngest kids elementary school, then on to an orientation for my 6th grader's first year at middle school. I then spent from 9-11:30 catching up on my Tivo recorded episodes of the Restaurant.
FWIW, I did not "admit" that
Doc's activities do not violate the TOS, it has been my stance all along. I've asked him and other members to refrain from updating year old posts in an effort to keep everyone on OMNI happy. As you've seen, I've been largely been unsuccessful at that task. Any "threats" were for not for "whimsical additions to the TOS", but for not following the moderator's instructions, and for the vigilante efforts of the self elected
Doc police.
I'm sure that there would be more happiness with a bunch of locked threads.
FWIW, I find it very easy to skip over the posts that
Doc makes that don't interest me. I wish other would do the same.
The thread of ~49 posts, has been closed. It would have been closed earlier, but as I mentioned, I had more interesting stuff to do this evening.
