Thanks, but this seems somewhat promotional, as sbm12, a moderator, has pointed out. Clearly, by your username, you've a vested interest in KVS tool, which is a for-profit website. The testimonials are on the website itself, which of course is biased because you will only put up good testimonials.

I think the spirit of FT is that we use FlyerTalk for ways of enhancing our flying experience, not as a vehicle for self-promotion and marketing our for-profit websites. I think this is what sbm12 has been getting at, and I think this is why he is constantly questioning your motives. I think if your website were free--like the ANA tool--then many people would gladly welcome KVS as a great tool. However, it is the for-profit nature of the website which makes people like sbm12 suspicious of your motives.

I just reviewed some of your recent posts, and almost every one that is not posted in this thread directs people to the KVS tool (one of which was in reseponse to my post for a paid C fare in the LX forum, yet you post this KVS stuff which has nothing to do with my question at all). The very reason I am posting in this thread is that you posted in the LX forum on a question that had nothing to do with KVS, yet somehow KVS was insinuated in there. It almost makes it seem that your presence is not so much to support the spirit of FT, but rather to promote and direct people to your website so that you can make money.

So I support sbm12 100%. ^
