Oh my yes, what an astoundin' "accusation" this is. Surely in the history of FT no one has never ever communicated with 'friends' in order to get them to post in a given thread. It must be the first time ever. Whether such messages are relayed by email, phone, or hidden in bags of Doritos found in hotel minibars is kinda moot, no?

CG's suspension is no more pathetic than ozstamps' given that they were both issued at the same time. The only difference being that CG did not promptly return under a different handle. Nor get that handle banned too.

Getting lessons on manners from ozstamps would be funny if that pathetic liar and master defrauder of airline and hotel loyalty programs ("Hello United? I didn't get my 1K drink coupons! " ) hadn't lost any credibility in the matter a long time ago.
