(exactly 25 words, if you count "OnePass" and "MasterCard" as one word each) :)

You could drop the word, "free" and do it in 24.

I don't think you really helped the situation with comments that started off in the MC thread :) :

The young elite thread is quite a long read. Better grab yourself some popcorn and biscotti...

A few thoughts
 
Here my thoughts:

1. I have sometimes been relcutant to post as I feel I do not measure up to the road warriors who come in Gold and PLatinum and feel that having read other posts/replies that there is sometimes a hierarchy (real or percieved) and sometimes people get annoyed with posters questions.

2. Sometimes old timers do not seem to have patience with newbies

3. I actually counted every word of senatorgirth's post so I think I need to slowly drop my mouse and step away from the computer...Maybe I should do something productive like start dinner for my family.

4. Good, bad, indifferent I love flyertalk and all of the "Free and open exchange of ideas" Yes, I know, those are NOT my words but HEY, its 7:30, I had a crazy business trip, almost got trampled on the jetway in EWR today (see my CO Gripe POST) and can not longer be original.

Cheers

Why don't you use the search function to find your answer? You could search on 20 or 30 of the keywords in your post.

LOL!

That was just a nice, friendly, on-line whack-a-mole session. :D
