SteinerboyCA.. please do not take offense by us. Before you got on board FlyerTalk... the Buzz was a small area that has rapidly taken on a life of its own.

Just a suggestion: What you can do is do a dual posting (I'm going to get e-mail on this one! On the buzz say "Please see the Virgin posting for an interesting offer, particularly for non members!"

Then post the information on Virgin. Most of us read the Buzz so we would see it and go to Virgin and check it out.

On another point though... I don't think some of the stuff we talk about is as you call it "an awfyl lot of inane discussion." SOmetimes some of us go OMNI but stick it out here... we are a friendly and fun bunch who have interests beyond Frequent Flyer miles and sometimes they end up here.

Sorry if you were offended. Let me give you a better and warmer welcome to FLyerTalk, and I'm looking forward to your future contributions. CATMAN
