And then we can debate what you call a mileage run -- if I'm at 94K in December, and decide to spend a long weekend in Hawaii at the end of the year, is that a mileage run?
I stand by my statement -- the number of folks doing pure MR's are so small it's not even worth thinking about, let alone trying to do something about.
It amazes me how many people seem to live in a black and white world.
I agree. A lot of people end up within a couple thousand miles (or less) to an elite level by December.
