Anyway, I get it... Obama sucks, Obama is great... awe, never mind.

P.s., Pop quiz:

Q: When is it ok to violate the TOS?

A: When it occurs on the Delta L & G thread!

P.p.s., Since I'm not one of the anointed 12 or so, I'll go back to lurk mode... actually, this is the perfect opportunity to kick my APC habit!

Consider the dead horse beaten.
Remember, all moderators are volunteers, and there are only 2 of us DL types.

The thread tends to go so fast that it can get buried by the time Scoop or I get to it, and plenty of it is gray enough to where we'll just let it lie.

The latest back and forth was over thanksgiving, and let's just say my presence here was considerably less than usual.

Living,

The point I made was that just about everything can be considered political.

But, even still, when it get to be over the top, it seems that on this thread, whatever springs up eventually dies down.

Buzz and I are harmless. After all of this, he will send me a book, I will tell him that he's wrong, and he will send me another book.

Political talk never lasts on here. Good Delta talk squashes all.

I promise you, if Delta had announced they were keeping the 747's and had placed an order for 50 787's and 10 777's, I'd be so excited, I wouldn't have remembered what happened last month, let alone 2008.

The stuff over tgiving was largely over the line... we just weren't around to take care of it (as things tend to self mitigate here anyways), and there was a lot crazier stuff going on in the regional forum as well as the necroposting dude. 3 or 4 people got the banhammer over tgiving, haha.

Necroposting dude? I dot even know that that is, but it sounds like it's illegal in all 50 states.

I've heard the 88 voice command module requires some cussing and voice raising to fully understand, but works some of the time.

so what you are saying is we blew an opportunity to post porn and get away with it?




Well. I guess that's okay. I didn't want anymore of that sheep porn that was on here a week or so ago.

In an effort to save money going into the new year the training department has made one simple video for new hires to memorize. This, in addition to learning how to use the "Fly button", will complete all training through OE.
