Tee hee, I just edited the wiki in a manner that perhaps can serve as a compromise between the warring factions in the great 76 character war!
Let's see who can figure out what I did first!

I never knew a thing about BA Avios until I got the 100,000 point credit card bonus.
I never knew a thing about Southwest.
Thanks to TPG and MMS, the repetition came on a day that I needed to learn about those programs. @:-)
And FYI TBB, I never paid attention to Chase UR until I got those Chase credit cards. The repetition is annoying, but it certainly is helpful for a newbie to a program.

Speaking of repetition, your loyal readers are anxiously waiting for cc links to appear on your blog.

Funny you should mention this. While the repetition does get annoying, it can be incredibly useful if all of a sudden, one day you need the information. I know about UA and Starwood. I've learned about Hilton and ICH over the years.

Sure there was huge repetition with the Miles & More Card, but at least with readers like me who reads every post, I absorb a lot of the information. So had the coverage not gone up about the program I wouldn't have written the post today (you can see at the bottom of my siggy and I think is quite good IMHO) which might be useful to lots of people.
But I'm sure there are a lot of people who are just turned off by the credit card posts because I'm surprised from the number of comments who kept on thinking that domestic awards were only for Germany and Austria.

Does it count as censoring if the blog changes one's comment w/o notice?
Gary changed a word I used that was very mildly disparaging of a third person. I called the fellow a "goof" and it was changed to "guy."
EDIT: Gary and I have had a cordial exchange via PM wherein he says he did not edit my post. I am equally confident that I remember the exact word I purposely used, and it's different now. I suggested that perhaps Boarding Area changed it and he does not think that is possible.
So there you have it.

MMS & TPG ( so I think the pics with dog are cheesy, but I am not a pet person, so I disregard and scan the subject matter) both may repeat at times. Who among us is going to read everything from day one when we chance upon a blog or a thread.? So a repritions is OK, besides it does take repetition for a human to remember !
Reading the quoted post, can any & ALL of us hereby commit that we will NEVER profit from posting any links ?

Thanks to this thread, I have stopped moderating comments on my Fishing4Deals blog. When I set up Fishing4Deals, I was holding comments for moderation, but now that the blog has picked up steam, I can see how that can discourage commenters. People want to see their comments posted right away so they can get immediate feedback from other readers. The WordPress spam filter is excellent and has always been right! The only discouraging thing is that I have ten times more spam than real comments.
