If JoeBlow signs up today and wants to ask the same question, power to him, and in all likelihood, PremEx will again, graciously, supply a most competent answer and a relationship will have been initiated. </font>
Or, alternatively, someone would simply welcome
JoeBlow to Flyertalk, and graciously provide the links to the most relevant prior threads, that would provide not just a single prospective, but a whole rainbow of experiences and expertise by many members. That diversity makes Flyertalk so valuable, IMHO.
Once again, the case at hand has nothing to do with the scenario you (or I for that matter) talk about here.

I completely agree.

That actually depends on
how and
why it is done, and whether the member feels satisfied and helped (as it seems to be in case at hand).
