Last year there were a few threads from people who had bought multiple subscriptions who were offering them to FTer's who asked for them. I was one of the lucky FTer's who benefitted from the generosity of a kind stranger and his act has encouraged me to reciprocate and give to others when I could (so when I've had e-certificates to merchants or transferrable hotel certs that I couldn't use I've posted them on the Coupon board and gave them away). I think of FT as a community and I love it/you.
I think what's going on in this thread is the very significant pyschological/emotional difference of someone offering to give something away out of generosity and someone asking to be given something for free.
As to Inside Flyer, I've loved receiving it and I've always learned about something that I hadn't seen on FT and when my subscription runs out I'll be buying a new one - and I'll get Starpoints when I do. Total win/win.
