Harold's is an attempt to get the board back to talking about travel, putting the seemingly endless flame threads far back in the pack. I have done it before also, and support his efforts. Those of you who engage in these flame-fests ("and you know who you are" Crystal, B. circa 1985) should recognize that this is one of the only outlets available to many of us to TRY to get these boards to just focus on travel, points and miles.
