That's exactly what I said. I thought I was pretty clear about that. Someone else said

AJK didn't mean what he wrote there. Good thing he's not my lawyer...

The best part about this whole thing is that Dan has been totally talking to himself the last few pages here, while everyone argues about how he thinks.

Point to AJK:

You are such an addict that the meaning of "normal" became crazy and the meaning of "crazy" became normal.

Oiy vey vey, Dan, let's say how much of an addict you are. After loosing the votes on DDF for a change and you're still saying "I am torn" implies that you're in AJK's boat.

To all of you: I was there and did some therapy to come back. There is hope. AJK, having a kid at home helps a lot so if you already tried once try again now.

Wow this one went totally ignored, but was to the point.

AJK:
The more you write, the less logical your arguments become.
Very condescending.

OK, against my better judgment, I'll bite.

What about my arguments was illogical?

I don't know what is more embarrassing. The fact that I wrote ambiguously, or the fact that you interpreted that purportedly ambiguous statement as meaning I thought UA was worth $0.00.

If you'd be a Goy then I'd understand why LH F is worth it. Otherwise I'll stick to what I said earlier.

Oiy vey vey, Dan, let's say how much of an addict you are. After loosing the votes on DDF for a change and you're still saying "I am torn" implies that you're in AJK's boat.

Wow this one went totally ignored, but was to the point.
So, now it's "crazy" to take an extra stop to fly F? When you have millions and millions of miles? When it's a rare opportunity and are flying solo? When miles are being devalued at every turn? When you can create memories to last a lifetime? When the it'll cost you a few hours but still get home the same day?

*That's* what you call crazy and "on point?"

I'm sorry, but when DDF become AARP?

The latter isn't embarrassing. You made it clear that you don't understand economics, and you continued to argue against my claim that even Dan's points have a value even though by now, I think you agree with it. I'm guessing you agreed with it then as well just didn't bother reading the entire conversation. Honest mistake. Regardless, I'm done here

Nonsense. I never, not once, argued that Dan's points had no value. You did, however, try to make that my argument. And then cut that one down. But if you need an army of straw men to win an argument, well, that speaks for itself.

As a wise band once said "if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice" (one of the great lyrics of all time)
True story.

Then how about EJB as well as yourself PM or meet each other and have this argument? Dan has already made his decision and therefore there is nothing else that will be said that can be useful to this thread's topic.

That's what I thought. The line about my arguments lacking logic probably sounded better in your head than it did coming out of your mouth. Happens sometimes.

In any event, if you feel this thread has run its course, by all means, move along.

Meh. This isn't popcorn (nothing close). Oy, Reb CM, מה היה לנו?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Oiy. I totally forgot to add  ;) ;) :P :P :P to my OP. I thought you'd add that by your self  8)

In any case you should take that as a compliment. I mean after all you are the one who went to the funeral of JJ F   ;D

Denied a 4th time, c'est la vie. Probably for the best anyway.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
