I too am against standardization especially as I think we all appreciate different things in trip reports.

I'm really not too interested in the flights unless something peculiar happened. I do really enjoy hearing about what people did at their destinations. As a leisure traveler I like getting ideas on what hotels to stay at, where to eat and what sites to see ... oh yes, and where to shop for bargains on locally produced goodies. I too really enjoy the ones by good storytellers such as Opus (sorry Opus now I can't think of what opus you are - how about X for now?) and PremEx.
