Now, lemme ask you: IS IT WRONG to HAVE the site? Is it WRONG to tell somebody about that site? IS it really wrong to promote something to people just to try to help them out? Hey, you know some of these guys with sites never asked for a thing in return and I might LIKE to give them a few $ or even miles, but they dont even want it! They'd down right refuse it! How good of them, and yet all they REALLY seem to want is to be the guy who is known to know all about miles. The sort of self-made benevelent Guru master who just happens to put all our crap we talk about into one place (edited and simplified, of course). So is it WRONG to WANT some level of fame--but where you dont really make THAT your known goal? Hey, some people wanna be cool, right? some wanna kinda be known as the guy with the info... Is it so wrong to just have a knack for the web and a bit of self-promotion? Or are we jealous of these types?

Wrong? I don't know, but that isn't the question. It [i]is[/] a violation of the FlyerTalk Terms and Conditions that everyone agreed to abide by when they registered here. IMO.

By the way, Marathon Man, does your handle have anything to do with the length of your FT posts?
