Flytime, it would be helpful to others if you specified the topic of your post where the posting screen says "Topic."
When people see "check it out" they immediately think "oh-oh, another teenager", or "this guy is really lame" or "I can skip this, it's an advertisement".
If you really have something to say about travel, tip us off in your topic, or you'll lose your audience big-time. (And if it's about United Airlines, you'll get a more enthusiastic audience by posting to the United forum!)
