opus17, if you turn Num Lock on, you can use the decimal point on the numeric keypad so you can avoid all those exclamation points!

No flame intended, so please accept my apologies!

I do wish that we would all be mindful of others and respectful of their posts/efforts, however - especially when we do not like the content, or even the person themselves, for whatever reason! IMHO, we have far too many posts about posts/posters! Imagine, just perhaps for one moment, if I were to comment on all the posts I did not care for!

Have a great holiday everyone!

I thought it was funny, too. Life's too short to be serious all the time! (I'm sure there must be a thread on this somewhere... let me just go and check...)

[B]It is indeed quite humbling to be in the very presence of such an omniscient connoisseur(s)! The arbiter/tribunal clearly has spoken!

Reads like heavy sarcasm at someone else's expense, at least on this side of the ocean.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Not all FT's, it would seem, have a very keen sense of history, or for that matter of seeing current events within any context, eh? </font>
Seems to indicate that opus17 lacks a sense of history or the ability to see events in focus.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Perhaps one day, I too, and all FT's for that matter, will learn from the judiciousness exhibited in the so very "meaningful" chiding post(s) above!</font>
Implies that there is nothing to learn from opus17, and indicates that his lessons are unwelcome, unneeded, and meaningless.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">And perhaps one day, I too, and all FT's for that matter, can learn to be equally arrogant, oh pardon me, sagacious! </font>
Appears to state that opus17 is arrogant based on his posts here.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">We can all then share in a perfectly homogenous and truly condescending FT board!</font>
Implies that opus17's efforts will necessarily lead to a condescending FT.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Yet, if not, I'll somehow just manage, in any case! And until all FT'ers can be as consistently "mindful" and "worthwhile" as you manifestly deem yourself/yourselves to be, </font>
A final shot: tells opus17 where to stick his advice, and announces one will continue doing whatever one wants.

Actually doc -- since you don't believe you do bring back meaningless threads, why the response here?

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Imagine, just perhaps for one moment, if I were to comment on all the posts I did not care for! </font>
I guess if you did then I would have to go somewhere else to find out about NW's new service between BFN, MN and BFN, ON, since time would become perhaps too scarce?

But of course -- no flaming meant!

Thank you, Judge Messier, for bringing this thread forward still again and helping to manifestly illustrate the point that these kind of posts have no place in FT!

It has been over 8 months since I last revived an old, meaningless thread for no good reason (some people do it every day!).

It's like riding a bicycle, you never forget how to do it. Except, I did forget how to ride a bicycle.

By the way, please also see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum18/HTML/000102.html . That thread has absolutly nothing to do with this thread.
</font>
hehehe

by the way, does anyone know what the record is for "refreshing" a meaningless thread? surely, opus you could have done better than 8 months!
