As a newcomer to this forum it's interesting with a little "History" lesson. As for me: I read what's related to FF programs (or other points programs) and when someone writes about "I've seen a great plant in City XYZ" then I just don't read it. Of course it would be nice if those topics weren't there at all (afterall there are so many general travel forums around but very few FF boards with trafic) but with logic one would think that if everybody stuck on the specific subject of FF then those who didn't would slowly but surely drift away since nobody was paying any attention to them.
Comments are welcome and no offence is meant.
