It has nothing to do with whether or not you're elite. Good ideas are not dependent on status. Do a search in the archives for someone named fireflyreaction - found a great way to get tons of miles for ultra-cheap from magazine subscriptions (the fiasco that ensued is immaterial - it's the idea that counts). One of the best ideas to hit these boards in a long time - and this person was a student, not some corporate bigshot with status on a bunch of programs.

You need to reread your post before you hit the submit button. You want to put your ideas out there - fine, that's the idea of FT. But the truth is, your posts bore me to tears because most of what's in them has nothing to do with the point you're trying to make.

If I got stuck next to you on a plane and you talked the way you write, I would probably kill you before we landed. And if my lawyer could get all the other passengers seated around us to testify, the judge or jury would probably rule it was justifiable homicide.

Hope that wasn't too long - wouldn't want you to miss my point.

Edited for a typo.
