... as a (so called) neutral swiss (my swiss pretend to be neutral - but minutes before a winner seems to show up we will switch to the winning side

:
so far most of us flyertalkers considered this board as an international board (from time to time we had minor fights on this: the most 'serious' one I remember was: who was considered to be overseas!

.
as long as all discussion partners above were using arguments based on their own experience the discussions (in my opinion) was helpfuld (and provided some opinions/arguments) which helped me to make a better judgement on the situation myself. At the point that the arguments become personal (and directet against another flyertalker) it didn't help me anymore and I start to be somehow embarrassed now.
Please no boarders here, no domination of one (culture) thinkings/behaviours/standards over the 'others'.
I hope that most of us/you agree.
Have a nice weekend.
