Good points, all. If I may, I'd like to put in my $.01 worth.

- FlyerTalk is unique. Whether we are aware of it or not, Randy Peterson and company put this BB on the very edge of--not technological innovation-- but, rather sociological innovation. WE make the board what it is. Not moderators, this *thing* we have was alowed to evolve as a result of the *people* who contribute to it. Don't think think this didn't take guts, folks.

- As a result, there are going to be, are most definitely going to be, problems when trolls, or just common ordinary buttheads violate the *spirit* of the board.

-What counts is how we handle it, and we ARE handling it pretty well, IMHO, as evidenced by the posts to this topic.

- Bottom line: The true blue *members* are what makes this place so special. As long as WE stay honest, the FT bulletin board will continue, and it will succeed. Aggravations? Yes! Pains? Yes! This is the price of being in the forefront.

YOU (and you KNOW who I mean!!) ALL ROCK!!!!!!!!!
