When I first saw the thread title (before it was edited) I thought a long-lost very unhappy HON Circle member has at last come back to post in the M&M forum!

As long as the car is practical, economical and comfortable for its intended use, I couldn't care less about the brand or model.
I'd rather worry about the brand and model of the aircraft I'm going to spend up to 12 hours in than about a car I'm using for 5 minutes.

Perhaps this decline and elitist approach of some memebers is one of the reasons for resignation of Gary Leff from the FT and rumoured return of Randy Petersen to travel community space with something new (http://boardingarea.com/blogs/viewfr...om+the+Wing%29).

You do not expect me to name the names, do you? Or give real examples? Well, I'll give you one - I am aware of case where new member was chastised for posting something deemed "OT" by one of the moderators and few days later, I had to alert the same moderator to the fact, that his own comment (on something else) could be interpreted as racist... This was not on M&M!!!

The topic itself is interesting but the thread title "Disgruntled HON Members" is gratuitous and inappropriate if I may say so.

But there is also no way, the regulars here could be satisfied even remotely. The "highest quality" posts would trigger the biggest outcry in our inbred community.
Examples are true maximiser strategies and tricks, loopholes, system flaws. The grander and more genuine they are the harsher the reaction here would be.

Since this thread has rapidly turned into anything but Miles & More (Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, and other partners) I'm closing this thread.

PS: there is a fine line between mischievous and trolling, the latter being a big no no of FT.@:-)
