Note
We interrupt our monthly storytelling for a quick administrative note.
I’ve gotten a few questions about this over the last year. Just wanted to quickly post my answers here to eliminate any confusion…
Yes, I’m aware of a blog that has tried to mimic the style of pre-retirement MileNerd.
No, I was not contacted about that beforehand.
Yes, there are some differences that don’t align with what MileNerd was about.
No, I am neither flattered nor bothered. Because it doesn’t belong to me. Obviously, that blogger has the right to do what he wants with his website. I did, however, ask him to remove the comparisons to MileNerd. Which he quickly and politely agreed to.
Yes, I wish that blogger the best. Truly. He seems like a nice and very smart man. I’m glad my years here made such an impact. I’d happily meet for dinner or drinks like I would with any of you. But, again, no current miles-and-points blog has any affiliation with MileNerd. There is no connection.
End of note. Back to our regularly scheduled storytelling next month.
