I agree with your concern about bloggers to some extent. But the numbers just don't warrant us not pointing out deals. The pageviews/viewers on flyertalk, fatwallet and slickdeals are considerably larger than any bloggers stats I know of.

And I think bloggers have a much more targeted, informed audience than the general public that hits FT, FW and SD who are more likely to blow the whistle on a good deal.

I see you are a long time member, 2004, that probably wants the good old days just like I do. I'm afraid congeniality and the spirit of helping one another without unneeded criticism is over and done with.
