Consider the source and realize that it may be in your (and all of our) best interest not to go on and on about the joys and justifications of trying to screw the airlines on this. Trust me (and him) on this-it's not an idle request, but a very good suggestion.
Pontificate all you want about anything here. You may want to consider leaving off on this topic, though. Your choice, of course.
Cheers.
Marathon Man, I'm afraid brp may be on to something. There's good evidence that plenty of airline staff silently monitor Flyertalk, and at least a few of these people are the rules investigators / enforcers for their airline. And they have ways of tracking us down. Oh boy, I felt a cold chill just now.
