There have now been almost 2800 replies in this thread. There, as of now, has been no information to be added- just whining (mostly justified) and threats of switching to another chain. At least for me, every new post sends me an e-mail. I then have to read every post. Every ramification of this change has now been hashed out. No new posts are going to change anything. Hyatt sent out a survey about the changes to certain people and hopefully they are reviewing the responses. For me, I've read enough. As far as I've read so far, I'm not terribly affected by these changes so am neither for or against. I understand everyone's point of view, but it seems enough for me now. I'm unsubscribing from this read and will just check every few weeks.
