PG, maybe you're starting to get my point. See, you are annoyed by the cat, cigar, silly spelt stuff. Well that stuff is at least about the people on this board! Imagine the annoance that some feel when the topic has nothing to do with either the people or topic of this board!

Any post you make about you or your cats is welcome by me, Catman. As is any post by Doc about himself and his hobbies or personal experiences. That's what makes things interesting and us a community.

As has been said, it's the volume of non-related news service items that I find inappropriate.

My point was that I find selective censorship offensive. I do not say that you should not post about cigars.

You are making a value judgement that it is ok to post about people on this board, but it is not ok to post about travel related news items in a forum titled "In The News".

Maybe we should limit the personal experiences to "FlyerTalk Community", since you say that it has relevance to the community. I would much rather read about a travel related news item than about doc's (or anyone elses) hobbies.

I think that it is high time that Randy/ Michael publish some guidelines that we can go by.
