Weird replies, but I expected as much.

Anyway, as I said, we are talking about miles, not soviets, and not desperation. To talk of these things actually mattering on the scale of how I am, or someone is as a person is silly. If I am seen as 'selling out' because I am one of many who found out you can get some miles by mistake and chose to take them, then that is also very strange.

Oh well, I guess there are a lot of very scared people in here. Don't go get these miles then. I will instead (when it comes to pass my way), and since there will only be one of us doing it, they will not stop it and I will slowly earn more in your black and white world.

Actually MM, I think that it is you who live ina black and white world. No-one I have seen on this board has been against the return of a few tiles or the odd accident at University where they give you a cheque back when you paid by Credit Card.

The difference lies in when you INTENTIONALLY go out ot defraud someone. That is a different can of worms and is in my view not just being dishonest to the company you defraud but also the communtiy at large.

And as the headline on the top of the page says, this is "The worlds most popular Frequent Flyer COMMUNITY".

Like my teacher always said at school when he gave the whole class a detention, "There is always someone who spoils it for everyone"
