    Depends. If you spend it on wine, women and song (or mushrooms) then yes!

    It's ironic really .... that you should be the one to speak out .... because, it's actually something I saw you doing, some years ago, so started to copy it :)

    Really. It hadn't occurred to me to delete old stuff until I noticed you were doing it.

    So .... blame where blame's due ... it's all your fault :)

    As a matter of course, now, I pop back and delete most posts about: what I just bought at the supermarket, what the weather's doing right now ... and what's just started on the telly. So "all the really pointless guff"

    I've never done that?

    My contact details are in my bio and I even leave up stuff when I say DQWD. I might have deleted some really sensitive stuff that would identify someone else in the distant past, but we all do that.

    This shows the importance of the capital markets. If there were a secondary market in air miles, pw123456 would merely need to look up the market value of 1.5 air miles and compare that with the 2.5p that they cost him. If he wanted to cash his air miles in and spend the money on profiteroles, say, he could do so, and his utility would be increased.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I have deleted my posts too. Though only about five of them.

    Um, urh, welcome!

    Avios (in new currency) are supposedly worth 1p a go, from those that have tried to put a value on them. So 12,000 Avios as against a charge of £200. Suggests it not worth it, unless you need them for something. I'm sure if you stick around michaels will suggest a cashback credit card.
