I think the reason Lonely Planet sometimes has problems with inappropriate or rude posts has to do with the fact it has posters from all over the world and all nationalities. A site like Madridman's is different because most of the posters are US based, although its great that there are people from Spain on here. I love that! On lonely planet there is alot of US bashing from the foreigners. Let's face it....nobody likes "us" except for us.

Jaime, it is funny, though, when reading this board I sometimes think that you guys are more critical on your own country than people from abroad, for example in the discussion whether Europeans can stand American sweets.

I found a board on the International Hostelling site that looked pretty good,....but nothing is like this one!!! kiss kiss hug hug......Rev. Mike

I found a fledgeling message board today ONLY about Europe's hostels and, in particular, about Spain, Madrid, & Barcelona hostels @ EuropeanHostels.com . Almost no postings there yet. (only MINE in the Madrid forum. heheehee..)
