As one who has meandered through Hot Talk, I can tell you that the percent of nut cases is very much lower here. Since you have to have a password to comment, no one steals your ID and makes trouble. And weird little kids like Jason (that WAS his name???) don't seem to hang around either. I just love this board. Everyone is extremely helpful and the get togethers are great fun, esp the PIP. Check out the site and see what a fabulous time we all had - emasks removed! Coupon Connection is another winner. Some top travel industry moguls peruse this board too so we have a certain amount of clout. And Randy is COOL and he is really ours, not just borrowed! Welcome.
