Well, maybe like this one http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip...avs/legend.gif ;)

I simple said we will, thanks ;)

My whole point is that all of the sudden, and old issue became solved at the suggestion of a newbie. If that was a horrible statement in my behalf, I apologize, but I really don't see anything wrong with it. |
Sorry....Couldn’t Resist....

I also believe this place has really changed since the old days. I, for one, liked it better that way. But I do hope people like vanderbilt continue to stay and contribute suggestions even though some make other folks get their knickers in a knot. - that is, if I can be trusted with such a low post count ;) I also think that the real problem is that sometimes people in different forums are openly treated with mistrust just because of their low post count. :mad: Most people here however say that they don't care. Personally I don't care, too, because meanwhile I know the experts in the forums that I visit. |

Counsellor's analysis of what happened is accurate.
Welcome to Flyertalk, vanderbilt. Don't let any gangs bully you. |

Vanderbilt,
Don't be fooled by the nature of some people here. As I stated, read each post and get to know the people. Some of us are blunt so that is not to be misconstrued as not being nice. There are also some posters that love to bait people into confrontation. It happens here, on this thread, and on other threads and forums as well. We appreciate your participation and jfe's remarks to you were not intended to you personally. He was referring to the way a new member can get some of the membership to get into a feeding frenzy on an issue that has been discussed in the past. Some members cannot let issues rest and this is a classic case. Then there are others that love to jump on the bandwagon and feed the frenzy. FlyerTalk represents a snapshot of society in our little cyber-world. Best regards, RobotDoctor |

Well I was gone from Flyertalk for a little bit (I'll leave my reasons to your imagination), but thank you to those who have encouraged me to remain on Flyertalk. It shows that this can be a highly debated issue, but thank you, Randy, for your support in eliminating post counts from OMNI.
