What with the food-coma induced by the excellent food, it's surprising we actually managed to discuss anything beyond the meal.

I mean...it's not like they have anything else to do with their time!

Actually PoF, this was never even a topic at the Moderator Meeting. And the 20 moderators who were there would all acknowledge that.
Actually, your tirade and posting style is a perfect example of why these changes are taking place - so thank you very much. We have members, apparently like yourself that are so wound up about themselves and their point-of-view about things they know nothing of, that they create a new user name simply to flame other members - in this case me. That is hardly the mantra in which FlyerTalk operates best and was founded upon.
So while you think you are being such a cool dude, the reality is that you are exactly the poster boy for our actions, and more specifically, my actions. It's so refreshing to have an actual live example ...

Wow - didn't click on link to find out what PoF got suspended for but am assuming worthwhile. It takes a bit to get Randy riled up.
I'm happy the moderators & Randy had time to meet & discuss stuff. And actually if someone hadn't posted why are you all meeting/why can't we ask you questions/what did you all talk about, I probably wouldn't have known they met!
And - speaking for myself - am I ever going to ask what they discussed? No. I'm assuming they're getting beyond all the folk who beat them up in their 'volunteer' job & discussed ways of making our experiences better. I also figure it gave them time to 'gel' & that works for me too. They get kudos from me (as does Randy, as always). Cheers.
