True, but I would argue (and can attest to the fact) that just as many deals are born on FT as are buried here.

To say that FT is the graveyard (my word) of good deals is misguided. Many times it is the FT community that pulls together great fares through the sharing of info.

Only other point I would make is that I think the level of info being provided by RafflesLonghaul and others now is sufficient. I myself don't know how to "trick it" but if I really wanted to execute on an advertised deal, I would read the post posted prior and PM friends and OP's accordingly to see if someone had the time to help out - just as I have helped others out in the past.

FT is a community but it is not a hand out. You have to give to get, IMO.
