I can guarantee you this had nothing to do with F/T being sold. Randy did not ask us not to take this action before the sale nor did he ask to take the action after the sale.

To the best of my knowledge Randy has no position on this issue one way or the other.

It actually has come up in the past but recently the situation has become more and more acute, with a tremendous number of posts being made in various Omni games and threads such as "Countdown from 100,000".

(One poster has 10,032 posts in that thread alone -- more than half of all his FT posts -- and posts there consist only of entering a single number.)
