4102003, I'm still interested in knowing why you think selling miles "hurts airline employees and other frequent fliers."</font>

No brain implant, but do recognize that the statement was made in my very first guilt-ridden post. Nevertheless, I still feel that way.</font>
Thanks for your reply, 410. And you did confirm basically what I suspected, that you were feeling particularly guilty.

Inane discussions of legality aside, I think it was good you felt guilty when caught, as long as it doesn't continue to dominate your thinking. IMHO, it speaks well of your ethical makeup. And even though I really don't think you did anything truly BAD, you did break the rules, and when caught, you fessed up and even warned others.

Echoing a sensible sentiment from early on in this thread, buying and selling probably isn't worth the risk, or, perhaps, the labor required to mitigate the risk.
