Catman, I know how you feel. And all of the above posts reflect the fact that others agree with all or part of what you are feeling.

But what upsets me most is not what you believe FlyerTalk seems to have become, but the fact that whatever it is, clearly hurts you.

Collectively, we are all the "heart" and body of FlyerTalk. And while I admit we go into cardiac arrest now and then, thankfully the thing keep on ticking.

But my Catfriend, you are the "soul" of FlyerTalk, IMHO. And even with a heart steadily pumping away, a body without a soul is not a very fun thing to visit.
