Oh, Mary, did you not acknowledge earlier on when referring to OMNI that "The posting content rules are more lenient..."?

Despite your comments below, OMNI is not treated by as you portray it and as you observe, actually is given special distinction not available to other members. I'd think that was more the "favored child," and the "first class citizen." Aren't those two groups more often than not given to leniency?

Just an old OMNI debate method i picked up after watching you all these years..... sorry, could not resist!

And really, I don't recall in my announcement of the change 4 years ago that it was due to members causing any problem. In fact, i thought my reasoning is that i'm still stuck in the good old days and would like to make sure that as new members come on board they are welcome and will find answers to their questions from a solid group of members who know first and foremost that we can help everyone become more knowledgeable about their travel. Only later can we help them with their legal questions, their decision to go with Sirius or XM Radio and just what does anything have to do with nothing.

Can't you for a moment just see me as i really am - a geek about the topic of miles and points and still trying to ad little harm to those who love the dialogue among members within OMNI.

If you agree with me on this one, I'll have MapleLeaf send you a picture of his visit to the House of Miles today.
