I hope that Marriott recognizes that Socrates' contributions to FT created enormous goodwill towards MR and enhanced their revenues by retaining the loyalty of their best customers. I cannot think of a single instance where Socrates provided information that was harmful to Marriott (i.e. "secret" discount codes, ways to game the system, etc.) Quite to the contrary.

To Socrates, an overdue "thank you" for all of your postings.
