Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Nathan Z.):

WS, you are correct that advance planning is the best way to enjoy a timeshare. Unfortunately, the MC was not represented that way to buyers, many of whom were led to believe it was not only a real estate investment, but an on-demand hotel alternative. After the first time I lost time, I learned to make my reservations early! In any event, there are 3500 posts on this site, with probably no more than 500 from unique posters, and I think I'm being very generous. There are some folks who post practically every day. (Perhaps Jeff Weir can provide the actual number of unique posters.) Personally, I believe that 175 pages of random "stuff" is counter productive. No one not already "involved" is going to tackle that hill. Since many MC owners are either first time, one time-never again, or only occasional visitors here, it might be helpful to direct them to the Redweek homepage/resources tab/askRedweek page, where the very first item deals with the settlement which has already been reached, and is as far as the legal system has taken this matter.
