Then why did you write:
"I just had "another" similar experience. Flew Singapore Business
Class
from Bangkok to SFO then Continental First Class from SFO to Houston.
You paid for Business class.

No, it is not. I fly FC US domestic almost weekly - much on
Continental but enough on other airlines to know.

Me. You need to learn not to rely on your cognitive or listening
skills - what you THINK youHEARD is not the reality. What was said
certainly is. I know these folks and they know the rules. If you
are confused, here they are again.
IF YOU FLY FC on a solely domestic itinerary, irrespective of your
elite status you are NOT admitted to the lounge for free. If you fly
in any class of service INTERNATIONALLY and are a Skyteam ElitePlus
(Platinum on CO) you are admitted to the Presidents Club ON THE~DAY OF
TRAVEL of the International segment(s).

We're done. All you want to do is complain - and do so based on your
twisted view of reality. Personally, I prefer you never fly CO again
- in that way, the likelihood of you in the seat next to me drops to
zero.
