Actually I'm don't wish I had ignored it. I fully appreciate that there are issues such as this where as you point out, no matter the research or what I hope is common sense and fair understanding, I'm not likely to change anyone's mind. I never opened this specific forum to think I need to have the last work, let alone the final word. Members are free to ask me a question and as best I can, I'll answer those questions once I think I've been able to properly balance FlyerTalk's interest in the answer ... as opposed to my own. As I might have made reference to, this is one of those topics where there is the topic and then there is the topic. One could say it was about homophobia, others might say it was about policies of FlyerTalk -- official or not. And you wrap all that around the individualism of comments. I think you and many others appreciate just how difficult that an be at times and this may be one of them. Anyway, I will continue to welcome questions from our members and as long as they don't appear to be contentious or misleading in nature, I'll try to answer them.

And the way this works, I'd rather a member be upset with me than be upset at the fine community of FlyerTalk.
