As an 11-year member of Flyertalk (!), I have to say, I like the bloggers. I don't have the time or the desire to read through pages and pages of off topic commentary. I like having all of the good stuff distilled in an easy to read format. Saves me the trouble.

I don't care too much about deals that get killed. My preference is for deals that survive in perpetuity -- I've got little to no interest in taking advantage of companies who made a mistake.
