Gotta say that I agree with
@Jan M. on this. While different points of view are generally helpful, it's really only useful to obtain those differing points of view when they are on the same topic. I respect the point of view that developer purchases to get to the Wyndham VIP levels is not a great choice for many due to the higher cost; folks that hold that point of view should feel free to share it when and where it's appropriate. I don't think a thread regarding the upcoming changes to that program is the appropriate place, though. Some of us have current VIP ownership with Wyndham and are interested in learning about the changes and have been reading this thread for that reason. The frequent posts with elementary math and logic errors haven't added value to the conversation from my perspective, though. It would be akin to my adding a post that says my favorite color is blue to this thread without adding anything about Wyndham privileges; it could be true and it could have value to some readers, but would really be in the wrong place. This thread is 14 pages long already and I realize that I'm just venting and not helping the situation, so I'll stop. I do think, however, that we should consider whether or not we are adding useful information to the subject people are discussing when we enter a conversation because, as in real life, butting into someone's conversation and changing the subject repeatedly can be perceived as rude.
Oh, I like chocolate, too.
