Welcome to Flyer Talk.

All wonderfully warm and fuzzy robb, but of course you do not address the real issue in any way.

1. You admit you have not looked at the thread in question. Rather curious seeing you have so much warm and fuzzy advise to share.

I suggest you belatedly do so, and your views might change on the validity of these posts from apple3.1415 you appear to support so much:

2. You suggest this person contacts the Forum Moderator there. Had you bothered to look at the thread, or do some basic checking, you would also realise there is indeed no forum moderator for that forum. :rolleyes:

3. You keep inferring this poster is a new member. Last time I heard a year's time on FT did not make one a new member. But hey, welcome him to FT if that makes you feel you make your points any better. ;)

Where's the usual outrage about such a remark???

Where is the strident statement that "TalkBoard members are first and foremost regular members"?

Where is the statement that this poster was speaking only in his capacity as a member and not as part of TalkBoard?

Where is the demand that TalkBoard members not be held to any higher standard than ordinary members?

Oops. Wait. Excuse me. Those statements only apply to moderators.

Moderators are first and foremost regular members -- TalkBoard members are not.

Moderators can speak as private members -- TalkBoard members can not.

Moderators can't be held to a higher standard. TalkBoard members can be. (I don't know if a moderator who is a TalkBoard member can be held to a higher standard or not.)

Sorry, but it does get a bit confusing.
