At this point I have to 'fess up that I have some inside information to indicate that I am not totally wasting your time here. That's about all I can say right now. In addition, I continue to believe that IB can implement almost anything we think up. That's why I don't want our discussion to be constrained to what features might be available off the shelf, as it were.
Well frankly, it takes a lot of stones to say that as that is imo, NOT in the "true spirit of Flyertalk" of sharing information. Either your at liberty to say it or you're not and in the interest of full disclosure and transparency, I think you should or not say anything at all as for me, based on your post, it appears that this whole push for a like/helpful/whatever you want to call it button is all about you and not Flyertalk as a whole.
