I love that people take the time to offer product to product comparisons of the carriers, lounges, classes...etc as well as detailed posts and pictures of new rollouts by BA. People post tangential "OT" threads that are useful but not directly related to BA...and they aren't jumped on or yelled at by other posters or mods. It's really a breathe of fresh air compared to my experience on some of the other carriers forums.
Anyhow, just wanted to give you all a pat on the back and say a big thank you...great community here!

Here's where I let you into my dirty little secret: I don't fly BA or any One World carrier. In the past when I have flown BA I haven't particularly enjoyed the experience. But I love this forum! Oh, I'll check the CO forum first to see if there's anything relevant to my flying, but then I'll head straight over here, and stay here, to read all the banter.
There is one very slight drawback to this forum, and that's the endless references to Bombay sapphire & tonic. It should of course be Beefeater (OK, I know they don't actually serve that) & Britvic.
