This thread seemed to be yet another reminder of the minority that doesn't want to be content to talk about points and miles and lift an occasional pint togehter at a DO... and that makes me sad (that they are missing the point entirely).
I don't find this matter to be sad. I find it to be entertainingly useful.
This thread seems to be a great reminder that miles and points bring us together but it's more than that which makes the dynamics that make this place great.
