Indeed, according to Randy, he had no intention of creating another IBB. But he was talked into it by Gary, Tommy and Ed: http://milepoint.com/forums/threads/...-5#post-442649 (and please do click on that link to give our MP friends some much-needed clicks!!!!)

It's impossible to say what those three had in mind when they approached Randy about starting a new IBB, but they have insisted ever since it started that there is plenty of room in the points and miles space for multiple IBBs.
