It's a symptom I like to call Web Rage which is the online equivalent of Road Rage.

It often occurs when booting up your computer, opening your favorite web browser and then logging into FlyerTalk. Suddenly your blood pressure starts rising, your eyes turn into slits, steam starts rising out of your ears and you start mumbling profanities under your breath as you uncontrollably click on OMNI/PR.

After an hour or so of venting in that forum, all mental and physical bodily functions return to normal and you head out into the regular travel forums of FlyerTalk as a model citizen.

We see this all the time. Nothing to be alarmed about IMO. Think of OMNI/PR as a pressure valve for the rest of Flyertalk.
