I tend to think your goal in here is to see others fall. Have YOU offered ANYTHING good (short or long?) I see nothing. But I am glad you think I am so dominant and powerful, for I am not, but thanks!

I guess it is all a difference of opinion then. So be it. Some FT people may obviously not care to hear from me directly anymore or care to let my posts hold water for them, but I will continue to share my ideas and help people in FT and elsewhere just as they may do in here. If the posts I make are long, kindly follow the dictum of all things written: DON'T READ IT! (oh and dont learn anything from it either. That's unethical, right?). BTW, the FT limits posts to some rather large number of words I believe I have never gone over.

Well, I think it'll sure be funny if we all one day find out that each of our stuff directly helps out the other's now created adversary. I mean, imagine if one day I created some site link or promo that helped out some poster who now clearly thinks I stink! What if their free trip turned out to be 99% a result of something I alone produced? Would they owe me one? If it were in the reverse, would I owe them one. Huh?

Oh well, it wasnt me who wanted to draw lines in the sand, but it is clear that it is getting done anyhow. What a shame we cannot all live in here with very different opinions. I thinkn some people in here WANT the GC gig to die just so they can find someone to blame and be done with the stress of trying to manage it for themselves all the time.

But did you all get your miles and/or anything else out of this GC thing? I hope so. So did I. Still do too.

Will I go to the Abu Griab FT prison for this? Will it affect my pending trips or my earned miles or even the many friends on here I have met? No, not really. It just bothers me that some people have such closed minds, that's all.

I am not planning on taking down my web site or stopping the ability to share it, and I am certainly hoping to gain more of those referrals if and when someone emails me on it. Some do, some don't. Fine by me.

I figure that is pretty good if that teaches those who do use it how to do the GC gig in the first place. I will, however, refer to one case where a poster quietly emailed me and asked me not to put a certain thing on the site because it could cause a problem in the GC scheme, so I took it off there. But that person had asked nicely and did not go around blasting me or anyone for it.

Hmmm, I wonder if that is something for the moderators to consider here. If not, then who do I owe? Let's all think hard about that one. I still maintain I did nothing wrong no matter how anyone slices it.

As for receiving compensation for having the ability to compile data and put a spin on it, I am just curious as to what the majority of people would want to see come out of this anyway? Some here think I did them wrong and yet I wonder: Is this just a blame game or a place to point fingers and tout moral opinions, or what?

What would you have me do? Let the person who has never made any money off of anything they have ever done or been a part of be the first to provide a suggestion. A mature one too-- and you may PM me because I wont respond in this thread. In the meantime, I have other threads to visit and more miles to earn. I think this thread has nothing to do with the EARNING of frequent flier miles. Instead it seems rather detrimental to the meaning of a frequent flier community. I come here for that. See you in the other FT places that do promote it and give us all our miles. I am done responding to this thread. I think those who like positive life should be the same way about it now.
