Many will join only to ask one air-fare question. I don't mind it because it increases the pool from which we find good long term members. But if we wanted, we could only allow people to post airfare questions after a cool off time, 7 days or 15 days or 30 days after registering.
All of this is normal house-keeping.
The important thing is, we would have solved a basic structural problem. After cancer is cured, people still do get routine ailments.
We too will continue to have to deal with normal headaches.
Just want you to know, among those who are in active "FT duties", some are very devoted and passionate. One of the reason why this community is so vibrant. ^
If history is any indication, please check out two previous TalkBoard agenda: Freebies in SPAM Forum (main discussion thread
here) & OMNI post counts (too many threads to count
). I believe you will get the perfect picture of FT dynamics in those two "heated" topics. At least that's how I witnessed and experienced the dynamics and learned about the importance of FT administrative procedures. (Quick summaries: the current status of the SPAM issue is tabled and post counts closed.)
Things may not be as simple as you think, in our big FT family. Some of the proposed changes are more than just housekeeping.

Yes, I am glad you speak up and make your points. I think TB needs input from all sides.
I am taking the same approach as you. If I find something useful or need to make a point,
I offer my two cents and leave the rest to whoever is in charge. Sometimes a smooth sail awaits. Sometimes, a bumpy ride ahead.
Just sit tight and enjoy yourself.
