Which I guess is why there is a FIVE year - long thread about her and her
shady business "practices" on the Flyertalk site, eh? :

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301930

Here's another long thread about her, entitled "Sheryl Announces Her Return
to Bidding For Travel":

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=819333

Coupla comments in the thread:

- "Should I phone up Connie Wong at Miyako and have some Sushi delivered??

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.f...057ef307e346da .."

- "Maybe Sheryl has been reading How to Win Friends and Influence People by
Dale Carnegie during her time off..."


I- " remember having run ins with Sheryl back in the mid 1990s all the way
through 98 or 99 on the ole rec.alt.travel usenet group.

She was a b**** then I am sure without a doubt, a b**** now..."




> Sheryl introduced me to sushi about 13 years ago at Cafe Japon in

Did she make you pay the extra buck to have the sushi roll cut into eight
pieces instead of six so's she could stick into her mouth...???


>She founded BillingForTravel. http://biddingfortravel.yuku.com/



Here's a better travel bidding site. It's run by nice, caring folks who
don't have a list of posting "rules" that runs LONGER than the US
Constitution WITH all the amendments:

http://www.betterbidding.com/

Interestingly, when _Consumer Reports_ several years back ran an article on
travel bidding sites Better Bidding was mentioned, Sheryl Mexic's Bidding
For Travel site was IIRC *not* mentioned. Kinda "odd" - or maybe they saw
through Miss Mexic's disengenuous tomfoolery.

When I saw this I thought, "Fat white women shouldn't wear sleeveless

The reasons are not "unknown", it's just that she's a bi - polar be - yotch
with an extreme case of Narcisstic Personality Disorder. And the *fact*
that she's been caught telling lies and engaging in shady businesses
"practices" is simply lagniappe...

You might say that such a person sets themselves up as a "Perfect Storm" for
online "controversy"...

Or you might simply call her the "Soup Nazi" of online travel bidding
advice...
