If you read my original post, I stated if tvl4free has PERSONAL need for the mileage run than he should keep it secret to himself and whatever select group he choses. I have seen no evidence that he actually needs the mileage run listed -- he seems to have decided to keep it secret based on the conversations here.

The reason I did not post the run I had is because I needed it to remain available for my own needs -- however, when someone posted publicly online with a need for a quick mileage run, and I knew that person to be someone I could trust, I told him.

Now that I'm not attempting for status with USAirways, I would be happy to post the mileage run -- EXCEPT that it's gone now.

Finally, as geo1004 pointed out, tvl4free ASKED for opinions in this public forum and I've given mine. My opinions are often unpopular and probably led to Catman brushing me off at the last Flyertalk meeting, but I'm willing to pay that price to say what I believe rather than beg.

If I need something from Flyertalk, I'll post publicly. I know a few people who I can count on responding, some may even chose to respond privately. If I have something that Flyertalkers can benefit from I will post publicly -- unless I personally need that 'loophole' to remain into the near future.

Finally, as a public note to tvl4free, this should not be considered a comment on your character. Everyone, including dg1 makes bad decisions and I just think this is one of them. I'm glad you contribute and help many, including me, with difficult last minute itins, but that doesn't have to mean everything you do is golden. I hope you understand that.
