Jim - you are threatening the decorum that currently exists on FT, particularly between participants on the CO and UA boards.
I do not know why. I do know that the logic by which you continue to annoy on the CO forum implies that CO customers are too stupid to consider that there is more than one airline. We are aware, and choose to patronize a combination that includes (in varying amounts) Continental. Why you can't play "grumpy old man" on the sideline, but rather insist on being an antagonist in a forum that's otherwise trying to do some good - that's what I can't understand.
If you have any respect for those of us that use FT to learn, teach and organize, please stop trying to re-start the fight that Randy squelched only a few days ago.
