The two BTers who have quit posting that I miss the most are Todd Sanderson and Mike Ciholas. I found both of their posts to be consistently entertaining and informative. I don’t know why Todd quit posting, but I think Mike quit posting because he lost a bet (with JC) about the viability of the Cirrus Vision Jet. I am wondering if we at BT could come up with an alternative “punishments” for losing the bet so Ciholas could start posting again. Here are some of my suggestions:

1) He could buy a Cirrus Jet
2) He could change his Avitar photo to look just like Crandall’s only with a Cirrus Jet in the background instead of a Honda Jet
3) Clean and detail JC’s Pilatus inside and out
4) Take a seminar in Emotional Intelligence (this one is risky because it might change his hyper-analytical “Spock”-like posts into something more gushy and soft)

Any other ideas? Let’s make this happen!

I miss him too, he did this once before... I've even wondered if he received a BT time-out or something. :D

Didn't Mike C disappear before the Cirrus Jet got certified? Either way, I do miss them both; very smart guys.

You've got the bat-signal commissioner, use it. Start a new topic entitled "My MU-2 was slower than a P-Baron today" and see if he doesn't appear. :D

Summon Todd similarly, but with a topic entitled "My Medi-Share plan refused to pay for my gender reassignment surgery - should I sue?"

:stir:

Todd's absence isn't Todd's choice to confirm the above. Todd is well, I just visited with him a few weeks ago. Mike C has gone dark before when out of the country or working on a large project not unlike Tim S. and Adam.

I miss Max - can someone bring him back to BT? :angel:

Peace,
Don

How long does a time out typically last, or is it a function of the severity of the transgression?

When searching in the member list for Mr. Sanderson, when you click on his name, you get, "The selected user does not exist", or some such. I'm guessing that means he got the ban :hammer: rather than just a timeout?

I'm a bit disappointed, I was going to try and look up his posts to see how inflammatory he could get!

Well, you can still find his posts by searching "by author"........I'm not seeing much, unless the offending posts were removed. :shrug:
