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

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
