I have looked at most of their blogs exactly ONCE and rue the day . . . hoping they did not catch a buck just because I clicked on their link.

I don't pretend to be a great contributor to FT, but nor did I wake up today, start a blog and then hand out luggage tags or introduce myself as a kiddie expert at the seminars.
The worst thing is that while we more experienced FTers know them for what they are, the newbies they rope in from other sources have no clue that their main skill is copy-pasting and actually THINK these bloggers are bona-fide travel experts.
