No one's calling you a LIAR....we are however getting a little tired of being berated and picked apart just for offering advice (which YOU solicited I might add). If you don't like the advice you've been given (including a summary of the airline's policy given by one of the most respected employee/members of this board and former baggage service employee), then I suggest you take your gripe directly to Continental because you're obviously not interested in anything that anyone here has to say.
