Well, this topic sure generated a lot of discussion - and many different excellent points on all sides.

We have another incident, this time on July 2nd, a user named "JMC" posted the same message about PlanetRX in 9 different forums: including Buzz, BA, CO, DL, NW, TWA, UA, US, and AA. Now, this one had a slight twist on the theme (as opposed to the other 14 forum posting mentioned above) as many of the messages just refer you back to the original thread.

I do not believe that this kind of posting should be accepted here as well, and I still firmly believe that the great folks at FlyerTalk should do something 'official' about this as soon as possible.

By 'official', I mean stating up front the accepted do's and dont's, and if somebody has been found to stray very far (note: I mean severe stray, not just a minor infraction), then they should be sent a polite email from the folks at flyertalk reminding them of the rules and deleting unneccesary posts. Why would anyone not agree to this? My two examples I posted are excellent illustrations of the problem.
