1) i'm not grumpy at all, actually. nor am i "mean spirited." actually,
please forward me some of my posts that are mean spirited. i'd be interested in seeing them. and, by all means, please be specific. it's one thing to say i am mean spirited and another thing to actually find posts of mine that are mean spirited.
2) as has also been mentioned here ad nauseam, google's search is much more powerful. specifically list flyertalk as the website you want to search.
sorry you guys just like to flame me. as you can tell over the years, it doesn't bother me. i also get plenty of private messages from people that applaud my efforts.
again, wouldn't it be better to ask people to search than have scads and scads of threads on the exact same subject? it's easier to research a topic (i.e., "Should I Get An Unlimited President's Club Membership", "Should I Get the Chase Presidential Mastercard?", etc.) when there is one main thread than many threads with five or ten replies, no?
in the past month, people tried to start new threads on the PC Membership question and the credit card question. isn't it easier and more effective to have the answers consolidated?
so, flame away..... while you may think it is "mean spirited," i just think it's logical. call me crazy.
