Cygnus X-1, do us a favor and stay out of the discussion if you don't like the tool. We are all very grateful to smile67 for making it available.
You are proof that being EXP on AA and having 700+ posts does not confer wisdom or good manners.
I'm surprised the moderators haven't stepped in to say anything. While I am opposed to editing, deleting or closing threads, surely some form of censure is called for when someone abuses a person like smile67, who has contributed so much to so many in our community.

I don't mind hackers. I do mind "limited edition" hacking and laugh that I make you mad.

Now go play in his sandbox, I'm booking my flights without any of it. I'm sure a majority of you DON'T tell the airline "Hey, I'm using Availability Tool 1.6 and it's located at this URL, so can you book me on fligh *** because I see Z availability".
Give me a break.

Cygnus X-1, you are a disgrace to this community, and your comments have absolutely no place here. I've seen you do this on other threads....post incredibly negative comments that both have no validity or place in a community such as this. You are obviously a very angry person, but why do you choose to take it out on this community?
I'm sure I speak for many people when I say that no one would miss you or your posts if you left. Please do us all the favor and stop posting your nonsensical rants.

Please be on notice that the personal attacks stop now.
Criticisms, corrections, and civil discussion is welcome. Inflammatory language and deriding members is not welcome.
This thread is for the discussion of finding availability in specific inventory buckets -- and the conversation is taking place in MilesBuzz, specifically finding availability in award (free seats and upgrade, various classes of service) buckets.

Thanks to this tool, I've been able to get confirmed upgrades at time of booking on recent/imminent trips to LHR, NRT, GIG and BOM. It's been a wonderful resource for me. Thanks again, Matthias!

Not sure if I was told wrong but...
on the phone this morning with AA the CSR told me C was for First class on a 3 class plane and A was for First class on a 2 class plane.
Thanks.

Ok, Cygnus X-1 this will be my last reaction to your comments independent from further statements of you, so enjoy reading and have a nice day !
First of all don't think you are marking me mad, i wrote it in the old thread and now once again, it's not worth to answer your self-explanatory personal and unobjective attacks - yesterday "s-h-i-t" was short enough to make an exception, it was no personal attack, only a fact. I don't know your goal exactly, but it seems to me you have too much time, perhaps nobody speaks with you, so making trouble is good to spend your time. But this is a community and the more you do like this the less you are accepted -and this has nothing to do with an won opinion. Ok, i know for persons like you, it's not important, perhaps nothing is important for you. For me you are a poor person and i say it without beeing angry... The tool is up, now and for the future your oppinion is not the reason to change this -sorry, perhaps this was one of your goals.
The blocking of the tool is very easy to understand, there is a limit for requests otherwise we have to pay higher charges, so perhaps it's a first kind of promotion or later on a little service for a low fee, no secret - justification it's not necessary for me, but it's another exception especially for friendly and helpful persons like you! And aside from there are many registered airlines and pilots too, so the tool is not as secret as you think.
That's all and nothing more...

Cygnus X-1 If you would be good enough to provide us with an alternative to smile's availability tool your criticisms would be less bewildering. Smile developed this tool for us to use at a time when all the alternatives had been closed. Every poster on this and the previous thread has found it very useful. Unless you can provide an alternative, your posts lack credibility and your reputation suffers accordingly.

Thanks gleff. This is actually the first time that I thought about bringing a poster to Randy's attention. I feel that an admonishment is not enough in this case. cygnus kicks the community spirit with his feet, so why should he still belong to the community.
