Agreed.

I've been known to do my share of complaining.

Sure the rules are screwball, but sometimes that increases opportunity. Example (though not a new rule), I think it's crazy for UA to require the same number of miles to upgrade IAD-DEN as it does IAD-HNL, so I upgrade IAD-HNL with miles and IAD-DEN with 500 milers.
