Lets forget the former group ("the sour grapes" - they cant be placated) and deal with the latter, it might just be that like everything in life there is a trade-off.

The non-USA members are much less likely to stay at SPG properties and consequently place much less value in the assistance provided by the Lurker here, so its very convenient to take the moral high road.
Fortunately William is more temperate than I , seeing some of the stuff posted -I myself would just tell this board to get stuffed.
