If that ever happens, it will be a sad day.

We'll need our own vBulletin, and rights to PostWhore.com. There needs to be a contingency plan to make sure that posts carry over, and all previously uncounted OMNI posts get added in.

It's dat pesky irony deficiency anemia again. Aren't there supplements you can take for that?

If I may paraphrase Churchill, "Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that if teh Box lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'"

Way to make me look like Neville Chamberlain, Sir Winston. :p

That same thing happened to me last night. Fiancee kept asking me if I wanted to leave the Flyers game early since the Devils were getting clobbered. I said to her that I wouldn't care if the score was 11-0 for the Flyers; I would not be seen to appear as retreating in front of the enemy. :D

It is highly unlikely that I will make 1k again on CO with out DEQM. It is possible for me to reach 75k in which I'd give CO 50 and AA 25. Therefore they lose my 25 of business.

There is always the archiving of the RSS feed. ;)

What is the virtue of having a low, and some might say useless, lower tier in two programs?

I think we have enough know how around here to convert an RSS feed into a sql dump that could be uploaded to a new forum system.

Wow the Box is busy today. As a lowly Silver, I doesn't bother me as it doesn't change anything for me.

No travel this weekend. Must fend off the shakes with thoughts of three new lines and a new type next week.

You'll just have to solve that problem now won't you.

Don't be so sure. The majority of anecdotal evidence suggests there is excess E+ capacity on many UA flights relative to the elite load. If that's the case, that could, on mid-con's at least, be a Silver accessible benefit.

I have to give UA props today.

My EWR-IAD-DEN-ABQ-ORD run on Sat got truncated to EWR-ORD due to a delayed IAD-DEN flight.

Called them up today and they gave me original routing credit. No problems. When I got back to my computer, there they were.
