It is my wish that you don't take any offense to the post by Dimples. She thought the opening nature of this thread was a flame and thus wanted to remind you that flaming is not the intent of the board. I will take responsibility of the post. After reading the thread, I can see you are having a discussion regarding multi-personalities on the board. Perfectly within reason. Again, she thought this was the start of a flame and you will see FlyerTalk take a more active role in short-circuiting any flames. Hold her harmless and talk to me directly if you have any questions. PremEx did and I think he was wise to.

Have a great FT day.....

"..and you will see FlyerTalk take a more active role in short-circuiting any flames..."

Since we've sadly been seemingly incapable of doing this ourselves, I'd have to say this is very welcome if not excellent news! Thanks!

Punki, PG, & Magic111: So can any of you discern the deeper meaning in this one:

The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles. ?

Where are the vandals when we need them (to take away the multiple handles)?

Good on you, PG.

Many thanks, Geo1004 and magic111, it's all coming back to me now. I actually quit dating a guy because he didn't like that album.

Punki!!! I never said I didn't like the album. What I said was that he sings like he just woke up after a night of drinking and cigar smoking at Murphy's Grand Irish Pub...

Oh my silly Koko matt, you can be my boyfriend now, if it is ok with Annie and Joe, but 35 years ago you just weren't in the running.

PUNKI!!! i thought the adorable (not that Koko is not) arturo was your boyfriend!
flame wars, scandals.... what's next?

Punki,

Aren't you glad you did? If you hadn't, you never would have ended up with Joe. 'Course, I suspect Joe'd claim to be the lucky one. And I'd agree with him. You're one of a kind (even if you misspell "Dylan"...was it too much of the herb that made you forget? )

We love you, Mama Punki!

What is the real story on OZ ? I just got back from S.E. Asia..having gone there on a "promise" of sorts from Oz (or his friends). I tend to believe people until they give me good reason not to. Oz are you OK? This silence is not good!

ozstamps is getting some much needed rest in the laughing academy.

Ozstamps is now posting again on the UA board. I think his strategy is to ignore what's going on here, slowly creep back up again here and there, and if people do not have or voice objections, things will be back to "usual Oz" very very soon, and all of this hoopla will have been for naught.
I predict that this is exactly what will happen.

Sometimes, one reads things that one wishes weren't true, even though one's gut feeling is that they will turn out to be correct. (As is the case here obviously). Being an optimist, I'll hope you're wrong NSNH, but I'm not holding my breath.

[*]I sincerely hope that ozstamps finds soon an acceptable (to most of us, whatever the definition of 'us' is) way to a normal' comeback on this board.
[*]I sincerely hope that we (whatever the definition of 'we' is) find a way to make it possible for him to find his way to a normal' comeback on this board.
[*]It might be too difficult for him to 'admit' whatever some of us 'accused' him of doing. So be it - if I find 'reasonable' reason that he (and others) will not 'missuse' (whatever the definition of 'missuse' is) the board from now on for personal attacks under 'fake handles' (and 'fooling' us for some time by trying to create 'real' personalities doing this 'job' for him/them) I am ready to welcome him back to this/our board.
[*]Come on colleagues and friends, come on ozstamps, let's try, after quit a long period of 'cruelty' (from and for many sides, probaly most for ozstamps), to move forward and to follow the (unpublished but in the long run quite well established) rules of our board here.

Can I (and hopefully many others) welcome you back to the board ozstamps, assuming that, by accepting, we all (you included) will try to play the FlyerTalk-Board-game following the (unpublished) rules! I sincerely hope so!

(late nobel prize winner 'Rabin' once said: freedom is not made between friends, it is made between ennemies ...)

I will try to email this also to Glen, hoping to open the door.
