Yeah, I have further thoughts on this. From the General Travel Talk section -->
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum94/HTML/001056.html

I could show you about a thousand more like this from the same poster. How would you like it if everyone on this board posted whatever "they" thought others would be interested in, without control, considertion, or regard to theme? Yes it's an open forum. But we do have a general theme here don't we? This person has shown time and again after many pleadings both public and private, to be incapable and unwilling to "put a lid on it".

Randy has said many times he appreciates the "self-policeing" aspect of this board. I think you should read between the lines as to what Essxjay is trying to accomplish here.

If this guy could show a little self control and cut down on the dribble by about 80% and keep his news stories somewhat controlled, no one would mind. But the sheer volume of this stuff is getting to people. And that's a fact Jack!

It's not about his right or even if some find value in his off-topic posts, it's about FlyerTalk and it's charter. Is it a personal dumping ground of news stories that some guy thinks the world should enjoy with him, or is it about a community of Frequent Flyers that want to keep the volume/noise ratio down in order to avoid losing valuable members?
