True 
, but while that would be entertaining spectator sport, it will simply remain a fun 'what if'.
This issue remains divisive because there is still a major tension between those who see FT as a pure information source and others as
that, plus a community of like-minded travellers.
I don't see the fight ending as the same issues will pop up to offend some people, who will not let it die until they get their will enforced. At the same time, we are all aware of the problems and it is a question of how lax and tolerantly does OMNI get policed by all of us?
At the same time as this debate, we can all enjoy FT (if we just ignore this forum for a little while
)
