True, and that's a fair comment, so I've modified my post to be less "broad brushed" - sorry.
The reason I've not noticed you updating it is that you have made it quite clear (quotes below) that the purpose of the thread is solely for the benefit of AAdvantage members, and that solely you should be able to update it. Since I discovered that, I haven't looked at the thread again because I don't collect AA miles

I doubt that's the case.
I've never been clear why that thread is here anyway rather than in the AA forum. Are we going to end up with 9 other stickies here, "oneworld awards using British Airways miles", "oneworld awards using Asia miles", "oneworld awards using Qantas miles" etc. etc. If I want to spend AA miles on a Hilton stay, should I look for a sticky in the Hilton forum telling me how to do this? Why do any of the other OW partner members find having the AA sticky here useful?
Why isn't it in the AA forum, like other AAdvantage items? Where does the "how to spend AA miles on partner airlines sticky" go - in every other partner airline forum?
If the thread
was never intended to apply to non-AA miles then why is it in the OW forum which is frequented by lots of people who don't have AA miles?
