SemiElite,My beef is with 2 things on this thread. The first was the unecessary "commercial" that Vulcan threw in. He even admitted it was such. His great work in the first bonus thread is tarnished by his inability to keep politics out of this thread. It is not a universal truth that the change of which FARES are upgradeable is "taking away a benefit". Many, obviously including me, like the change. It has been debated to death on MANY threads. Why take our most popular topic and add that controversal line? The bonus thread should be about bonus miles... MILES. It is an incredible stretch youre making saying that NjDavid's post is on topic because he uses the world bonuses... please. His post had NOTHING to do with codes to get more miles, promotions for more miles, etc. That is what this thread was designed for. Sure, I'm off topic. BUT, and here is the key... No more than YOU, NjDavid, Vulcan, and others. The REAL, differences is YOU disagree with me about the BF thing. You AGREE with their view. Same as JohnNYC. So if every thread anyone throws in a pitch for letter dropping, complaining against CO, "claiming" that CO reduced benefits IT'S OKAY. BUT heaven forbide, if someone disagrees with these same folks... we must be out of line. It is hypocrasy, pure and simply. I support your right to scream to the heavens about BF upgrades ON A BF thread. I might not agree; but I won't tell you not to post. And I would expect the same courtesy on NON BF threads. Should I post on every thread that the BF change is Great?? Would you all like that? Of course not. It has nothing to do with the silverware thread, the exit row thread etc. You will notice that I NEVER, repeat NEVER, start the BF part of the thread. I do, and will continue to do so, point out that it does NOT belong on that thread.
