Ready for the conspiracy theorists to jump in...
The author of that story was at FTU and spent a lot of time speaking with folks there and learning about things to educate himself and his readers. And, having actually spoken with him for a while, I have no trouble stating that he is a travel junkie just like many others here. One who realizes there is much to learn and who is looking to grow his knowledge personally.

I bet that's not true.

There are a few things which annoy me more, but this is definitely high on my list.
