If you're flying to get miles, it's a run. They can't tell you otherwise.

Yes. You've got it!

Some FTers take delight meddling. Some will say 'you're wrong, just to be right'. Some people on FT, want a high post count and will post to every thread in a day.

Don't take it too seriously...

... and enjoy the miles/status when you've got them.

BTW, don't stop posting. We need contributions. Even if some say otherwise, without the "Talk", there is no FlyerTalk.
