Never say never - in some case (e.g. NW Chisholm agents) where there is a sort of friendship with Flyertalk.
However, I would be very careful about mentioning FT to a Hilton phone rep. Many of them got some sort of briefing a year or two back that basically said we're a bunch of cheaters that inappropriate share promo and rate codes and so on. I can only hope that the appearance of the 'representative' here is the beginning of a better relationship.
