Now you know some of the facts which I hope you find helpful. I can assure you that there's not too many long term members here on FlyerTalk that haven't some sort of indiscretion in their past as they grew up around the topic of miles + points and that includes regular members, moderators and the fabulous volunteers all over this community.

With this information solely designed to correct some information which was off topic—it seems like a great time to return to The Points Guy dialogue—now, where were you?
