Boy, a lot of people have a lot to say on this topic. It occurred to me that the
e-mail referenced by everybody that contains
a 'demand letter' to Hilton regarding
Diamond status, etc. may simply be a joke
written for the amusement of the 300 room
guy's correspondents about the absurdity of
the $0 rate situation.

Just my 2 cents.

(if that were the case, wouldn't we all feel
silly?)
