I have long thought there's a great anthropolological study in the appeal of frequent-traveller schemes: the quest for status via quantifiable, programmatic means, the deep absorption in tiers and recognition levels, the disproportionate lust for "validation badges" (special luggage tags, etc.) of comparatively little real value... it has created an obsessively tiered, compulsive self-organizing, highly intelligent international subculture.</font>
Wouldn't this be more appropriate for a study in Abnormal Psychology than Anthropology
