In my opinion, I really don't see what the fuss was about by some who thought it was absolutely necessary to start a new "where's max" thread. No matter if it's new or old, flyertalkers will still click on the most recent page for the thread. I see no difference if there are 20 pages to a thread or just two -- i'd still click on the last page available.
Personally, I sorta like seeing the "where's max" with a history...show's how dedicated a lot of us truly are in earning points/miles!
So...let's all just forget about the "new new" thread and keep this one!
