True John, but it also eliminates about 99% of the information from being posted in the first place. I was on there for a year and there was very little posted, particularly compared to this site.

Maybe it was like that in its first year, but it's certainly not like that anymore. I gathered more information over there for both the US Air and Colgan accidents than I did anywhere else, by a long shot.

There's probably a lot more members now who have left "other" message boards than when you were there. You'd probably recognize a lot of the names. It seems to have reached critical mass now and is pretty good. You don't see the flaming you see here. Even PuffDriver and myself are civil.

Yes, the boards were civil, there just wasn't much going on in the cargo and FedEx boards. I keep getting invitations to rejoin but for now I think I will continue to "slug it out" over here.
