I would draw more of correlation using the revocation and the insurance, if it weren't for the fact that one policy ended and a new one took effect the same day. That sounds like what I speculated above, that they were just snoozin' instead of notifying everyone in a timely manner. If the...

I'll speculate that "liquid" means they're not filing for bankruptcy on Monday and that the reasons for the revocation and insurance changes and dates stem from the bad practices of accounts payable leaking over into other departments, like the department that's supposed to notify insurance...

The Mac operating system is built on the UNIX Kernel, which is one of the oldest and most secure operating systems available. Most tools and scripts for creating viruses are for Windows, and most virus authors are more familiar with Windows and the UBM platform than they are UNIX. And, there are...

I read a really good article just the other day about pre-paid phones. Couple of articles, actually. And now I can't find either one. One of them was about how most people don't use up all their minutes on their plans, and when you figure out the minutes you have used versus what you pay for the...

There's no question that Nations is in trouble, but an involuntary revocation of the authority for a day isn't the smoking gun. At worst, it's s symptom. Depends on how the carrier handled it with the previous insurance company and when they notified the DOT of the new insurance. If the timing...

"It's about the rate not the miles" Is it? I drive a van. I get paid $0.77 per mile. I get the same rate for a 400 mile week as I do for 2000 mile week. I can run all kinds of smart, but more miles is still gonna equal more revenue when the rate is the same. People can turn it around and say...

You're looking at dates and making all kinds of assumptions, not really understanding what the procedures are or any of the details as to the reasons, and are desperately looking for something that may or may not be there. Don't want it to be there, and thus put it there on you own. Yes, there...

It shows poor management and supervision to go through a routine change of insurance companies? Really? There's no "oops" thing going on with the insurance. They changed insurance companies. It's that simple. They didn't lose their authority for one day and then go all scrambling to get it...

Brilliant. :D

Yeah, something like that does throw up a red flag, but if you look close, their previous insurance was going to expire then anyway (effective date being 3/20/08 to 3/20/09 and was with Navigator's Insurance) and the new policy's effective date is 3/20/09 and is with Lloyds of London, same as...

Be careful, I once posted essentially the same sentiment, and was promptly berated for for a complete lack of insight.

When a carrier has an Involuntary Revocation of their authority and it's only for a day, it's usually a procedural thing if the carrier changes insurance companies, or if the carrier goes through a name change (in Panther's case, both). Involuntary Revocation also happens, usually for a day...

The freedom to think and express yourself is apparently still alive and well, sort of. The joke's hilarious. The whole notion of carting in a piece of coal for Obama is just absurdly funny. *** While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate...

In the case of the now-former moderator who deleted (at least) three threads, there was nothing for administrators to rule on. The threads were not moved, they were gone, nothing to look at to make a ruling. They just disappeared in the middle of the night. Everyone just accepted it after the...

I'd love to hear PETA's definition of a "humane" seal hunt. :) Here's the actual press release from PETA. Notice the overblown and misleading catch phrases of "seal slaughter" (instead of seal hunt) "worldwide outcry", and then to read the PETA VP state that, "It's rare to see the world unite...

Maybe give Steven Seagal a call, too. :D

"By posting the articles i do , I am just offering up info on politic, the state of the world, whats happening today, and every once in a while my opinion, even if they don't measure up to your standards...I don't see anywhere that a post is required to spark debate or that it must make others...

No, the issue is a moderator being able to anonymously delete an entire thread, for their own super sekrit personal reasons, without justifying their actions. The Code of Conduct says you're not supposed to do that. Why should anyone here even pretend to play by the rules if the moderators...
