Sorry, fireflyreaction but any reference to "The List" is not nonsense. "The List" discussion started in May 2001 and attracted enough interest to run for nine pages. It, too, was a "good" discussion, because it allowed members of this community to voice their opinions on the type of deals you are currently discussing and how they affect FlyerTalk.

Have you read that thread (maybe not, it ran before you joined FlyerTalk)? If not, I suggest you do so before you dismiss it as "nonsense". Trying to contribute to a community is admirable; understanding the community is essential.
