Why no? I made a valid comment on what to do if you don't understand a Subject line. And it was a lot more informative than a vast amount of other comments that I see posted, especially those whose posters cannot resist swearing at others.

Not quite. You suggested that someone who had nothing to contribute on the subject, could "move right along".
But on your own admission you had nothing to contribute on the subject either.
So why didn't you follow your own advice, and "move along" too ?

I would have done, if you hadn't kept on replying to my answers to you. Your querying my one brief response has led to a large amount of wasted electrons.

In my case, I had a vague idea what BnB was, although I have never used it, and curiosity made me take a look.

There was a very big, rather unsubtle clue in the subject line - you just failed to take it.

As I said before, the clue only exists if you have the faintest idea what AirBnB is before looking. An OT prefix would have been a much better clue.

Used it three times in two years, for 'long weekend' accommodation in Paris and Amsterdam, all three experiences were excellent.

I wondered too.
The standard abbreviation is and always has been B&B.

It's a thread title. My newsreader doesn't complain if you use it in that.

Yes, but the company name is Airbnb (but no, that wouldn't have been apparent if you didn't know what the thread was about)

But you didn't, did you ?
Rather than follow your own advice, having nothing to contribute to the thread, by "moving right along", you instead tried to order another poster about, by telling them to "move right along" instead.
When if you really want to be picky, they may have had a valid point to make all along. Whereas you never had one at any stage.
Because, to anyone unfamiliar with Air BnB, not only was the subject not obvious from the thread title, but it wasn't all that obvious following the first three or four posts either.
