Well, it really starting bugging out Sunday and even then it's been working intermittently so not QUITE as bad as it sounds but still not comfortable. Unless something drastic happens, I should have a much nicer and newer system in <48 hours.
Almost a week without a/c? I'd probably use hotel points and stay at a hotel. I get very cranky without a/c in the summer.

Normally I would say I'd like to find out what the technical limitations of FTer message boards are, but that would be too much history to lose should the worst happen. So I vote for a new lounge as well on the condition that @Canarsie writes an updated welcome note like the one at the top of this lounge.
This should be done over the next few days or so.

.....and definitely an updated version of the welcome message along the lines of the one at the top of this thread, of course with links.

As I suspect that the new thread will be much like the current one, I think it should have a new title: The Unabashed Woodford Reserve Spam Thread. Another good alternative would be Our Strange Love or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Groan.

Knowing the frequent topics here in The Lounge™, maybe we could name it Having Pun Wish You Were Beer. Of course having an alcoholic beverage in the name might be pour judgment.

this will likely be met with a chorus of booze, but to quote one of my earliest posts (or maybe it was from a PM to kipper when we were first trying to arrange an MDT-area meetup) ... “Don’t Call Me, Alcohol You”

As long as you did not use the word liquor to describe a certain form of action pertaining to the kipper or any other female FlyerTalk member, you are fine.

I have decreed in my mind that the name for the new 2nd lounge shall be regardless of what it really ends up being named:
The DL Lounge™ Too: Having Pun Wish You Were Beer
Even though I don't drink beer.

It depends on the day.
I love it.
