I don't understand your obsession with when the reservations occur. It doesn't matter. Current availability doesn't matter. I never said I felt that the commercial renters are cheating anyone out of a reservation, and I don't have a problem with "first come, first served". You said "That sounds like they're picking up the remnants of availability since that's not even 2 nights total for all the reservations", and I simply pointed out that it doesn't look someone picking up table scraps. Obviously, if I'm trying to maximize profit, I'm going to grab the most lucrative dates possible within whatever limitations I might have. But again, that's not the point.
Once again, (and I really don't care either way), the point that I was making was that there ARE people who advertise numerous confirmed reservations in quantities that scream commercial renting. Whether or not they are made during high or low periods, whether or not someone is complaining that they think they got shut out on a reservation due to commercial renters (something I have never lamented), doesn't matter to me.
The point remains (and it's the only point I've made)that there is at least some presence of commercial renting going on. I don't care if there is or isn't, but people are practically swearing on their first-born that it doesn't exist. If you think that renting out some distressed points is a reasonable explanation for making 35 discrete confirmed reservations, then so be it.
In summary, and this is the only point I am making: there are people out there making dozens of confirmed reservations, most logically as a commercial venture, and that is in apparent violation of the TOS.
