CO also had some better points and those should have been adopted as well, just not this maximizer stuff
You've got some pretty aggressive stances to take if you don't want to "start" something.

Kind of like wanting to get the last word in.

As for facts:

1. 1K is still not eligible via Elite Max.
2. If you were 30 miles away from Gold, you wouldn't use Elite Maximizer?
