There's some boards I post at where the corporate object of main discussion most certainly reads and takes notice (whether they take action is unknown) - - - but those boards have hundreds of active members and overwhelming activity levels.
I just don't see this board here having that level of influence. I think it's perfectly legit to ask BadAssKeith to tone down his whinging for the sake of less obnoxious discourse ... but I find it unfair to ask him or anyone to change their posting style for the sake of some imagined powers-that-be who may or -more likely- may not be reading this message board.
