As LBJ said in the first sentence of the first reply....
I was correcting his post where he stated that the OPERATING carriers rules governed the baggage fees/limits. I used the IATA posting so that I wasn't asked where I was getting my information. It's called supporting your statements. I tried to make the last post as clear and full of all exceptions as possible. Sorry I had to make it so long. Lately if I only post info on the error I'm pointing out, I'm told I left out all the exceptions. Although I never said any of them were wrong.
I was told yesterday that I was making a woman property. Why? I made the mistake of replying to a husband's request to help his wife in a format of giving him advice to help her. He didn't ask for advice on what his wife should do, but what he should do to help her. I apparently should have formatted the advice in the format of talking to his wife, even though she was not the poster.
People don't seem to understand you reply in a format to the person you're talking to. In my previous post I should have been able to leave out the exception. However if I had I'm quite certain I would have been told I was wrong because I didn't post the exception.
Sorry, rant over. I've expressed my feelings, and to be quite clear I'm not mad with anyone. Just lamenting the loss of something called context.
