As you have been finding early on, ecaarch, you are not the only person who suffers from this affliction, known as “FlyerTalk-itis”.
This really is not a topic for the Delta forum, but that is not the reason why I am moving it to the CommunityBuzz! forum. The reason I am moving this thread is because I am certain that there are many more FlyerTalk members that do not venture into the Delta forum at all that share the same condition as you, and the members of the FlyerTalk community need to support each other pertaining to this contageous addiction.
Admitting you have a problem is a start. Treating it — or not treating it — is the question.
Let’s see where this thread takes us...
