Leaving the personal sniping aside, if we may....
It is indeed unfortunate that this board doesn't seem to support any way of posting something to multiple areas. The idea of cross-posting, something that has existed in newsgroups for a very long time, is a basic, fundamental feature for such a system as this.
In my opinion, there are times when an offer from a particular scheme, or an offer that involves two or more specific schemes, should be posted to all the related areas. It should not be posted as several different discussions, but be one single thread.
The lack of this basic functionality is most unfortunate.

The king of long winded spam mass e-mailings is now complaining about FT'ers communicating in private.

HHHmmm....
Am I part of that silent EMAIL clique?
If so, could someone send me an email?
Also... (yes being paranoid) has anyone noted the number of "new" members who have joined Flyertalk and their first post or two is to praise OZStamps for his advice.... think we may have more aliases of someone from DOWN UNDER?... HHHHmmmmmmmmmmmm

Name some names wharvey .. you are just pathetic. Put up or shut up. You are the resident FT king of whining to Randy ... email him all your suspicions and suggest they do IP logging. And DO post it all here wharvey, or it will be taken as clear proof you are talking baloney.
I notice no new member comments postively on your comments. Or most older members either. Ever think about THAT? Probably why no emails you either come to that.

Oz,
YOU ARE THE PATHETIC ONE!!!!!!!
Once again, you take silence as a lack of support. Once again, YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!
I agree with wharvey. I am quite certain that a number of the "Oh Oz, you are great" posts are from new aliases. You are such a sad pathetic individual, that one cannot think otherwise.
As for wharvey not naming names and whining to Randy. More proof that you are SAD AND PATHETIC. I am VERY sure that you lead the league in FALSE accusations. I am also VERY sure that you lead the league in WHINY e-mails to Randy.
You have accused at least three members of being Notsonewhere. You were WRONG on all of your accusations. You are not brave enough to admit that you were wrong and that you have no idea who NSNH is. Pot calling the kettle black?
I point to my thread in Community of last month. That thread stayed alive until other members came out in agreement with me. As soon as that happened, you shot off an e-mail to Randy. Within a day, that thread was locked down. Pot calling the kettle black?
GROW UP YOU PATHETIC WINDBAG. SILENCE IS NOT LACK OF AGREEMENT. NUMBER OF POSTS DOES NOT EQUAL RESPECT. NUMBER OF REPLIES DOES NOT EQUATE TO A QUALITY THREAD.
I have figured out what kind of doctor you are. You are a therapist. You are also your only patient. You don't need to ask your therapist for a refund, you need to terminate your therapist!

Ozstamps, posted "Name some names wharvey .. you are just pathetic. Put up or shut up. "
OK lets pretend we do it your way and post some names. Will you then directly admit or deny it? I have a couple of names you can start with:
JaneJet
Moslsen Miler
I'm sure others would be happy to add some other names... However, WHAT'S THE POINT? YOUR NOT MAN ENOUGH to admit or deny them. I believe the incriminating silence is Yours...

Put up ... or shut up. And wharvey too.
Go for it. Post the names and users RIGHT here if you are "quite certain". Perhaps you are simply annoyed there are some who DO appreciate good advice and thank those you proffer it on FT. And perhaps you are still annoyed your "DOC" poll on CO went so badly against you?
There are absolutely no fake users re my posts this year Camera Guy (and wharvey) and that frustrates you like mad. What was done last year is done. IP logging has seen to that. Cigarman was caught and fake user ID cancelled for harrassing other posters with fake Alias. (And only THEN he fessed up). I did the same. Wonderland (who had a curious multi posting marathon early one morning in the CO Forum) was caught by IP logging and made repent. Go back, READ some old threads. It is history only you seem obsessed with revisiting each day. Many learned valuable lessons in 2000. Flyer Talk has moved on and has been the better place due to it. You seem incapable of doing that.
Your thread that Randy chose to close down recently was due to a NUMBER of FT'ers asking for that to be done. Go check. It had been ignored pretty much for a week, with those regulars on the boards showing what they thought or you, and it, by posting anything BUT a response. But mostly ignoring it, and you. Until the first REAL instance of a well known board member posting under a fake name in 2001 occured - via your other VERY interesting obsession, notsonewhere, posted upon it, and Randy clearly decided enough was enough.
If you were really concerned about fake users in 2001 you'd have been yelping about that. Then AND now. But No. Not a peep out of you how wrong that was. Why?? Hmmm. wharvey just went and dredged up an old thread congratulating himself "on all the emails he got for getting to 250 posts". What a ROTFL. If anyone was going to get all excited about that historic occassion, it would have been done on the thread. Talk about pots and kettles and black.
I repeat put up, or shut please. It is arrant nonsense.

OZ,
I have no need to offer you any proof... and I have many emails from people in support of my position... HOWEVER, I will not post them as I would never betray their confidence.
In regards to my "self congratulations", I felt that was appropriate to thank the community and really do not care if you trust me or not. I have done NOTHING on here to indicate a lack of trust - unlike you! HOW MANY TIMES have you congratulated yourself on your posts... remembering the Hilton one recently? Don't even go there.
OZSTAMPS... I resent being called pathetic. I have never once hid behind my comments and created aliases to support my positions since no one else on the board would do so. I have only chosen to put the mirror in your face so you see how hypocritical you are (I will not post the definition of that here... think someone else has done that elsewhere).
Seems like you quickly go to insults when you are losing your argument.
I will tell you this... do NOT assume that no comments publicly on threads mean no support of my comments or anyone else's comments on this board.
Whining? Well, I have NEVER sent Randy any private emails on issues on this board. I have only posted concerns on his Board. At least everyone knows when I ask for Randy's intervention.
I will now publicly state that you are the reason I will not be at Catman's CMD III in March even though I will be in NYC... and I am not the only one who is not attending due to you. AND NO, I will not post who I know feels that way. Feel free to post such a request... and see if anyone responds.
I am sure you have many friends on here... and that is fine. I know I will never be one of them. You have done nothing but reinforce my (and others) distrust of you.
This board was so refreshing and enjoyable during the time you were not posting... I only wish it was that way again.
Go ahead and flame... as I am sure you have a response already prepared... and just waiting for the opportunity to post it.

I would submit that there are no real "winners" and that we are ALL"losers" who would participate in such a thread!
Perhaps we can ALL collectively show some restraint and avoid another intervention by our host! It's up to us!
