I would rather someone who is currently more passionate about this particular topic launch the discussion while we return to the topic of what other issues should be addressed to TalkBoard in the coming year.

I do not know enough about what has been requested as of yet; so I did not want to appear that I was advocating for the implementation of the software to be added to FlyerTalk.

I understood what he meant & I'm sure others do as well. No diss involved. He could have used the word informed, but I think most understood his intent.
Cheers.

But thanks for trying to make me feel stupid because I did not understand his intent the way you did.

Let me see if I can clear up this misunderstanding which I apparently caused.
My intent was simply to get a discussion launched as soon as possible pertaining to the addition of software to FlyerTalk which contains a functionality desired by some members of FlyerTalk; but I have not had a chance to do my research yet to have an opinion about it at this time to have initiated it myself.
I used the word passionate instead of informed not because “I am not really in love with this idea”; but because in general, it is possible to be informed about this potential proposal but not have any preference as to whether or not the software is implemented. IBobi is an example of someone who is more informed than I about this particular topic but seems to have no preference either way as to whether or not the software should be added to FlyerTalk.
That is all there is to it. I am not trying to pawn it off on someone else. I have no opinion as of yet pertaining to this idea...
...and I was simply attempting to return to the topic pertaining to what other issues should be addressed to TalkBoard in the coming year.
I hope that clears things up; but I also want to say three things that I hope my past history on FlyerTalk proves:

- I am only trying to do what is best for FlyerTalk.
- My intentions are genuine.
- I am not afraid of “getting my hands dirty” and doing the work myself.

Can we get rid of the automated "wirelessly posted (.......)" header option that appear in posts so that it is eliminated from future posts? I don't see what purpose this language about device/browser habits serves any longer.

With my two sons now going to school I find many parallels to FT... at the first parent teachers meeting last year 2-3 parents wanted to become the parents speaker immediately, so they got elected. They are busy liasing with the school management, organising things, feeling important etc. The other parents are happy somebody is doing it. For the younger sons class its the complete opposite, nobody really stepped forward and in the end somebody was nearly randomly chosen to do it. They go about it in a minimalist pragmatic way.
Either way school management is happy somebody is involved and gives non-binding input on how to run things.
Alternatively you could say the mods are the hall monitors, TB the student council and the regulars are the cool kids that hang out in a certain corner of the school yard and pretty much ignorant of any structure(s) that may exist. And then there are 000s of students who go to school and don't come in contact with either of the three groups because there is simply no need.@:-)
