Dammit, HungryTraveler, you shouldn't have to put up with this!

I vote that we give HungryTraveler his money back. Hell, DOUBLE his money back.

With all due respect, this is PRECISELY the type of attitude that is killing MANY peoples' willingness to volunteer. I am not just talking about the internet, I am referring to society in general.

I am President of Little League in my town. This is an unpaid position. And I don't even have children in the league. I get phone calls as early as 6AM and as late as midnight, many from people who have never met me in my life.

And they simply cannot WAIT to share how positively indignant they are that an umpire "missed" a call ("missed" being defined as made a call against their child).

Sometimes if I am on the road, I don't return their phone calls for a day or two which drives them crazy. How can I be so neglectful? It has come to the point where I refer to my career as "my OTHER 50 hour a week job".

Flyertalk exists because of the hard work of Randy and his staff, and I guarantee that Flyertalk is a significant EXPENSE with virtually no revenue stream (of currency, that is).

So frankly if it takes a week or a month to deal with some software glitch, I may be inconvenience, but I am still grateful as HELL that this site exists at all - even if it does not reach someone else's high expectations.

Randy, THANK YOU for FlyerTalk. Warts & all.
