Here is my two cents... Our nerves are raw from the events of 11 Sep. We have a lot of emotions that are looking for places to hang their hats. I think that we need to refocus and go back to the fundamental reason that we hang around this site. We fly for business and for pleasure. We are passionate about Q miles, upgrades, MLL etc. Let's focus on helping each othermaximize miles, upgrades; let's return to sharing ways to make flying more pleasant and more profitable for mileage accumulation.
The amateur psychologist in me would say that behind a lot of the passion shown in the past days are emotions that are displaced and focused on the wrong issue.
In the past days, there are times that perusing postings is not fun anymore.
So what if occasionaly we get off topic. There is always a wise and sage person who gently and respectfully shepherds us in the right direction.
AC has a great challenge ahead to steer a tought course. We know that they lurk and read. It's time to get back to the business of FT. This is how I will honour the memory of those who died by contributing to positive flying experience.
