Humbug!
Enough with the goodwill toward men.
Perhaps: a) I have post holiday letdown; b) four weeks of booze, cakes, pies and cookies have left me hazy; c) I resenting being back at work when all my friends and family are off for the week.
Whatever.
A few things I hope NOT to see next year:
Multiple screen names and other unbalanced posters.
Posts asking to compare the three most obscure hotels in a city (usually located miles outside the center).
The same tired 12 restaurants rec's for N.O. on the US board (are there no others?)
People wanting itneraries to see "all of Europe" in one week.
I'm feeling better already, I'll skip the rest.
Cheers.

I'm thinking that actually maybe you haven't had enough booze yet 
I know how you feel about the repetitive questions (or the questions with the titles like "Need Information"
but, pollyannaish as it sounds,everyone was a newbie once, and although the question is frequent it's the first time that this particular person is asking it. When I'm feeling impatient I think it's time for me to skip it and not answer.
The unbalanced posters have been especially annoying this month, but I keep hoping they'll be gone when kindergarten resumes in a few months.
We really ought to try to really ignore them and just go on posting around them---it's the ignore the spoiled brat approach.

I want to be curmudgeonly.
How about no more questions about hidden gems of a hotel in a large, tourist oriented city. If it's mentioned here more that 2 times it's not a hidden gem. And I would like a professionally run hotel, where the people in charge know what they're doing.
No more questions of "What is the best" My idea of the best probably differs from yours.
Also forget about "the best" but "reasonably priced" I'm probably going to differ with you again about the word definitions.
And finally, I want all members of the spelling/grammar police to go on permanent vacation. If people can get what you meant to type instead of what you did type, hold your tongues/fingers.
