However, due to the sheer length of this thread, finding information in this thread can be increasingly difficult, especially for new FlyerTalk members. I know this would be a major project for you, but is there any way you can outline pertinent information in the first milepost of this thread to help make information that much more conveniently accessible? It would help in reducing future redundant requests for information pertaining to Buenos Aires.
Another idea is that you could create a separate thread with a list of bulleted information, with a link from this thread, if you like. Each milepost in that thread would be a different topic — for example, dining, transportation, how to dress, currency issues, etc. I, in turn, will lock the thread and make it a “sticky” thread here in the South America forum, and comments about the “sticky” thread could be discussed in this thread. If you need to change or update any information, either let me know and I would temporarily unlock the thread for you, or you can give me the information and I will update it for you.
The main goal is to have the valuable pertinent information as conveniently accessible to all FlyerTalk members interested in Buenos Aires as possible. Of course, any ideas that can help improve achieving this goal would be greatly appreciated.
What do you think?
Thanks for the kind words.
The downside to what you are proposing is that information is a perishable commodity. What I mean is that places close, move location, change, get better, get worse.... hence, I dont think that redundancy is a bad thing. I dont mind answering the same question, since this forces me (and of course the many other EZE experts that help me maintain this thread) to be updated in the facts that we post.
I would rather keep this thread alive... I personally dont like the idea of having multiple threads.... as a matter of fact, I did start a separate F&B thread but that never got as popular as this one, so now most Food and Drink related issues get discussed here. Again, I think this proves that the division would make things worse, not better.
Seasons greetings to all and a special thanks to all those EZE experts that help me with answering many questions that are posed here... I believe that its very important to have the insight and perspective of both locals and visitors to a city, that is the whole picture and is the best source for others to make a well informed decision.
Cheers,
