Selectively and perplexingly perhaps. Seems a bit self-indulgent to me!

When I offered you an RA cert some time ago on the undersatanding you would send me back the one in your box you seemed content and delighted with that arrangement - and it was "trading" wasn't it? And I presume you never returned the points for example on the stay you never made and for which you received an unexpected stay credit?

As far as I can tell - there's nothing in the rules that says you shouldn't have received the cert you say you sent back. It's something you seemed to have presumed based on FT posts. But there's nothing in the rules which says such a cert should be returned. Actually, some of the referred RA covering letters in the box actually referred to the enclosed cert which most often hasn't been enclosed. Hence you have seem to have presumed you shouldn't have had one. Personally - I and I suspect many other FT'ers would have loved the cert you say you sent back to Utah - I'd have tried to convince you it was the honourable thing to do.

To be absolutely frank, I find your claim that you returned the cert out of integrity having received it as a result of a further referral from another generous RA - and not as far as I can see in breach of any rule - quite infuriating and perplexing - and inconsistant with my earlier points - as there are many - some who have helped you in the past and are no longer RAs - who'd have really appreciated it.

Regretably, the telling thing from my perspective was that you chose not to simply tear it up if as you say you genuinely felt you had no entitlement to it and keep quiet about it - but to take the trouble and expense "to send it back to them" and then boast about it here. I guess you know how to wind up your fellow FT'ers.
