Just an early reminder to get your 2000 HHonors points for the new quarter on October 1.

I received a Hilton rain check from Q2, and sent that in, so they have given me the October Q4 points in advance. Saves trying to remember. Darn nice idea. You may use it up to 4 times they say per calendar year. If you require the rain security check code to use please email me - [email protected] or read my Soylent Green posts in chexfan's July update thread.

Can you feel the anticipation building?

Appears that some live only to see that post count increase. Get a life.

gleff

Had nothing to do with post count.

I have no desire to start a flame war with you. I believe that your admonission that I "get a life" was uncalled for and possibly violated the FT TOS: All that aside, I think that my posting history demonstrates a contribution to the community.

So why did I post this? Because I thought it was amusing, and I thought that a few others might be amused.

Do I care about my post count? Not generally, although I do admit that I memorialized my 1000th post.

Anyway, usflyer999, not cool.

I agree. gleff is very well respected contributor to the FT community, and this thread was rather amusing until usflyer999 made his completely uncalled for comment...

USflyer99 - you are not allowed to criticize anyone until at least FT puberty - around 250 posts. And only then in a more mature fashion. VERY uncool.

On Topic - AARRRGGGGG

It's funny, if it were any other topic then the Hilton Points I would say it's to increase post count, though I am not sure why that is important. But everytime somebody brings this up again it shows how obsessed some people are sitting around, programming their machines to beep at 1am on the first day of each quarter, anything for the 1,000 points. When people can't get the bonus points, start another six or seven threads to figure out how to get those few extra points.

Just think, in two years, you will have almost enough points to get a free weekend night room at a fairly decent hotel, assuming you don't miss any of the available updates.

So yes, the Hilton update threads have been beaten to death around here, and not just in the Hilton section, but it wouldn't be the same without a dozen of them running at the same time.

gleff

Thanks for the support.

All that said, I will admit that resurrecting that thread may have been amusing to me but I can see plenty of FTers rolling their eyes as well.

It was just a goof on how we all do things around these parts.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming!

Only 65 days, 6 hours and 20-odd minutes, taking into account the time zone their computer is in.

Nicely done, gleff.

Usflyer, we value your participation and look forward to further positive contributions.

Cheers!

People who have only recently joined a club won't get the in-jokes.

So why don't we give usflyer999 a break as well.

* * * UPDATE * * *

I will be on vacation all October so I called Hilton and asked if I may update for Q4 now, and not bother using the e-rainchecks referenced above. They did it for me, and enrolled me in another new 50,000 challenge. They are very nice folks in there.
