I saw comments about nothing happening and nothing needing to happen,
but no explanation as to what actually was happening. I never said I
didn't buy having a strip that stays in front of the controller until
the controller manually disposes of it.


Okay, so do you now understand that nothing happens and nothing needs to
happen?

In addition, I thought we understood that at some time (presumably after an
appropriate timeout), some FAA computer decides to delete the flight without
human intervention. I just wanted to be reassured that is an exception to
the the "nothing happens". Otherwise I suppose you'd quickly run out of
available squawk codes and eventually memory space.
