GEEZ, MRnotNICE, take it easy on MARKBACH. He's like 18 years old. At 18 EVERYTHING is a big deal. With time comes perspective. I agree with you completely that Flyertalk is very useful and has not "lost" anything. I don't think the tone you use is respectful of your fellow flyertalkers though. It's like someone would say to the school bully, "pick on someone your own size...". If you need to vent about someone...I'm here for you. We have mixed it up before and both came out standing! We can mix it up in the world class smoke filled room brawl... (but, my second hand smoke might cause you lung cancer ). Anyway, for what it's worth... how about cutting the kid a little slack?
