Did you read the number of people who have asked Randy to implement a change to the TOS as a result of this behavior?</font>
Sure I did, but the fact is, for the time being, no TOS violations have occured. I'm also one of those people who gets annoyed by the persistent rehashing of old news. So I skip those posts. I also get annoyed by some of the sophomoric posts which encourage FTers to come up with their best put down lines about ugly women, for example. Some posters both men and women think it's hilarious while a minority of us think it is degrading. So I am learning to just skip them too. If I can pick and choose, why can't others skip the meaningless old news stories. While they are boring, they don't insult a group of people as a form of meaningless entertainment.

There have been good suggestions in Omni about the old post problem. My favorite is the following: Perhaps instead of focusing on the removal of an FTer, why not focus on something positive like adding a column which tells FTers the date the post was started. If it's old, those who dislike old news can skip it.
