Don't go running away yet, guys.

We've been through a big hiring phase, merger, an SLI, synergies and the economy crashing, and the DPA.

(I am a member of JC as well as a different and much older screen name. The very liberal agenda of the majority of the users wears on me, though- that's how I ended up here.)

Save the L&G!

Gents:

Mods get to see some other threads that you don't, including "Reported Posts," which is where regular Joes can say to the Mods "Hey, take a look at this."

So, a couple of days ago, someone reported a political post. No one had touched it for many hours, so I took a look.

And I thought "Yeah, that's political..." But then I saw it connected to the next one, and the next....so, to fix one, I had to fix all.

While checking (through many pages) to make sure I got all the references and follow-ons, the side-boobs came up. At that point, I asked for other Mods to decide.

No, I'm not worked-up (yet) about the UAL-CAL thing. Watching and shaking my cranium. Not tangled in any axles, side-braces, or trunions, and not a bad day, either. And yes, if you knew me well, you'd say I have a pretty good outrageous of humor. BTW: the stick is in my hand, not my..........otherwise, my wife would say there's no room for my cranium...

I can still view APC at work during the rare moments when I have nothing else to do. I'm just trying to keep it within the guidelines I was given, which means (to me): Safe for Work. Trying to make sure I, and others, don't lose that privelege.

What? We're gonna let some UAL guy run us off? What did we do when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Did we run? We can't go without an underboob, SLI, scope throw down! We are not men, we are Devo!!!

UAL,

Point taken. Please allow me to offer two inputs. 1) there's a reason the Delta thread tops 8500 comments. We've been here awhile, we come back frequently, and previous mods have found our posts sufficiently acceptable. 2) maybe you shouldn't be as persuaded to react when regular Joes, or Joe, there can be lots of agendas here, complain about content, political or otherwise. See note number 1.

I'm not completely sure what privilege APC is granting me. I come here for education and entertainment. Maybe APC overvalues the product that they offer. Without us, there is no APC. Maybe APC should value the privilege that they have in us spending our time here.

buzz- just to back UAL up... I would have had to delete the political posts as well. It strayed off the allowable path for this forum.

Remember, things outside this thread are typically handled with a bit heavier hand. The other threads aren't the nice bar conversation among friends that this one is. I was visiting my parents until 2100 last night, then spent some needed time with my wife. When ACL, johnso, or myself can't get to things... you may find things handled with a bit heavier hand than the gentle reminder that we are used to in this playground. I've attempted to initiate some discussion in the mod section and perhaps some positive can come from it.

I saw a couple of the political digression posts earlier in the day while I was playing golf with my dad, but I couldn't jump on it and divert it from the highly predictable path that it went down.

Hey UAL, and the other Mods ...

Don't forget, this place lives on page clicks. Make it boring .. the revenue disappears .. then the site disappears.

This aint the Air Force.
