Yes, right! Just say it again and again- enough so and people will begin to believe it.

BTW-"Self-policing" aspects, NOT "lynching!" Of course, what do I know, you're the "Sheriff!"

Yes, and Randy has also commented numerous times about the massive growth in the number of posts on FT- and the point is?

Simply put, as many of you well already know, the comments expressed are untruthful nonsense.

Help yourselves to an exhaustive search/ critique if you like. Here's just one thread where this discussion has come up before:
http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/Foru...ML/000491.html

The result was always the same and by a substantially wide margin.

I have always tried to accomodate all on the board as best as I know/knew how to- and that is evident in any past post(s) or exchange(s).

There will be some who will never be pleased no matter what I or anyone does, as I've noted previously.

Incidentally, you may want to do a search of "Dr.Pfp" to help evaluate their contribution to FT. Please enjoy as you read!

Again, it's a mute point as I said. I'm not going to post news items in a "community" under threat of prosecution- period.

This is no great loss for anyone on the board, or for me. Others will be picking up any slack and I have a bit more time to read, etc- and maybe I could even learn to criticize others!

While I'd always tried to give proper source credit and/or paraphrase, increasingly I've been "sloppy" and have copied more stories rather than provide a link. This is my mistake. When you're wrong, you are wrong. I admit to that.

Ironically, this is because many FTers like essexjay, who specifically encountered a recent dead NY Times link, could not read the story that been posted.

Thanks for listening/reading this far!

With apologies, especially for ranting,
Mark
