cblaisd, first of all I honestly do not understand the ultimate goal of these new policies. If you really do, please be so kind as to specifically enlighten me. I am sure that greater understanding would lead to ............... well greater understanding.

I further assure you that I am not being confrontational with regard to my trip to Provence--I am simply trying to pick the cumulative brain of all of the wonderfully intelligent and knowledgeable FlyerTalkers to help me get the most miles and most comfort for the least money on my SEA/MPL trip.

I did indeed receive an official e-mail from FT telling me that the post had been repositioned (I still don't know why) to, I am almost certain, Travel Buzz. I have a limited amount of space in my "on the road" account was traveling to SIN and trying to keep my account under 1,000 indispensable business e-mails and just assumed that this one could be dumped because I could search for the thread in Travel Buzz. I am just an ordinary traveler with ordinary means, making ordinary decisions and honestly lack the superior cyber sophistication that many of you enjoy. I have searched Travel Buzz many ways and cannot find my thread but still need answers. If you can find it (the thread), please supply me with the link as I am still in need of wonderful FlyerTalk assistance for this trip.

I most wholeheartedly agree that we are all gracious (I hope) guests on this wonderful board and am simply seeking a clear understanding of the new rules so as not to embarrass myself or anyone else by future mispostings.
