Only if you believe my web site is commercial. Fortunately the moderators know that it isn't. Trust them? Or even check out the web site first before expressing such an opinion? Thanks.</font>
I have read the site and please do not assume I have not. I did not comment on its usefulness or otherwise. I simply opined it IMHO looked "AWFUL close" to you-know-what.

Content like this makes a point possibly:

"If you have not yet signed up for a United Airlines frequent flyer miles account, each of us can earn 5000 miles if you allow me to refer you and you enroll and fly a paid, qualifying round trip on United or United Express between November 1, 2003 and January 31, 2004. Qualifying flights are paid, published fares in F/P/C/Y/B/M/H/Q booking classes. I need your first and last names and your email address."

If MileageAddict or others hosting very similar (and EXCELLENT IMHO) sites posted the same thread I'd hold the exact same opinion. You may have noticed he does not start such threads? Seeing this is plug the free miles websites day, let me do a plug for him:

As to the Mods - as you posted at 8.44pm Mountain time on a Sunday night who knows if they have ever read it yet? Perhaps they might just have personal lives? Have they advised you they are happy about it?

Ask this question: If he were really posting the question as a veiled attempt to attract more visitors, wouldn't he have given a web link in his original message??? Sheesh!</font>
pgary anwered your question above. He clearly says he forgot to add his link in the first post. Any more tough questions I can assist with?
