SPN Lifer .. yes, living in your region, a less than 24 hour BB outage is not a major issue I can bet compared to what Mother Nature can inflict. We can readily lose lose track of priorities sometimes living in large cities. I have visted Saipan and Guam and FSM about 20 times, and do hope the essential services are back soon in your pretty part of the world.
As an aside I do not think using ANY of travel BB's has an exclusivety issue ... I do not think anyone inferred that? All have quite different user niches, and I am sure you would have a lot to gain and to contribute to any of them.
Flyertalk remains of course the largest and most comprehensive site by several light years.
