I am just saying, just because someone is offering a service that is of no value to advanced users like yourselves, is no reason to shoot it down as worthless.
That's why there are blogs and digital books like the Frugal Travel Guy put out for $6. If you want to fork out that kind of money each money and think you are getting good value out of it... not that big of a deal. People are just pointing out that a google search will bring up the blogs that will give you the info for free. The argument is that you are paying to do what otherwise might be a free deal. Flyertalk is a great place to go after you've found out about a deal and want to learn about the experiences of people who have done the deal or that are doing the deal.
