This has been a very good thread to follow since it's such an active topic. By and large I think this is a topic that needs the consideration of the new TalkBoard. While a mention of "bullying" me was mentioned earlier, my guess is that i don't consider the comments and support to date a sign of bullying me. From my former days of the clothing retail business, many of my best friends who were buyers were gay and i neded even thought about that part of their lives, they were simply great friends. So I personally have no hang ups there. However, I do regard this as a significant decision and one that should be among the first tiems on the agenda, after the resolve of the moderators for the board. I would recommend that anyone interested in this issue continue to post support or non-support for the issue here and the new TalkBoard can use this for their consideration. With ten members on the board plus me, I think we'll find a very open-minded yet responsible number of members who'll make the right decision for FlyerTalk.</font>
