OMNI for NJDavid: the Time Warner thing is a big cat fight between mouse and hare (or Disney who wants Time Warner to carry its Soap and Romance channels on T-M's Cable systems as well as make Disney a BASIC channel.) You probably know this story already, you're one of the most knowlegable and smartest friends I know (OK! let the razzing about "singling out" begin again!)

Sorry you missed the story. But I can't understand why they can't talk to OTHER FLYERTALKERS and Frequent travelers about their experiences.

I'll put this in writing: if I ever by fluke get asked to talk bout my frequent flyer secrets I:

1. Will wear my Flyertalk shirt, hat and Commander catcop badge.
2. Mention Flyertalk a LOT
3. Hopefully have time to thank members of my Flyertalk community.

I don't forget the place and the people who made me a tiny litlte speck star in the world of FF travelers!
