' '1.5016 pls press thx'.

Considering i've bought US$5,405 today (only at 1.5139 if you want to get a cheap dig in!) and over US$10,000 last week, I probably have more to offer to that thread than the tedious backslapping clique who use that thread as their online social club.
I can't actually understand why it's tolerated (cue much whinging of 'It's a democracy' - it's not - it's a privately owned forum for providing genuine help - what % of that thread provides any help to anyone??).
You have pops at moderators, other users, yet you seemingly have no comprehension of the ethos behind this board, and that single thread seems so self-defeating as it serves no practical purpose, and is counter productive as people will be put off contributing so they don't distract from the drivel it contains.
So, i've plenty to contribute as long as it's helpful and constructive, my end game is purely about using my expertise to help people, primarily saving money. That's why i'm here. What about you?0 -

If people are simply looking for the best rate all they need to do is to open the first page and see the excellent links that crabman has posted.
In reply to your points -
- Then put your offerings on the thread
- I see little difference between the $ thread and the Vegas one. "Meet ups", "Trip Reports" and numerous photos aren't "Money saving". I'm not having a dig here. I'm a regular lurker on the thread! They are entertaining and if I was going shortly I'd join in, as people can on the $ thread.
- Personally I, unless you know differently, have never had a pop at a moderator or user who was looking for advice on the $US rate.
- I repeat, contribute!0
