There have been many deals that lasted a long time and when the general public found out they went "poof". It doesn't bother me and I'll find something new.
It may not bother you personally but this is exhibit A in the case against individuals that complain when deals are withheld from the general public. This is what happens when you post a quiet deal - 25k+ views on FT, tens of thousands elsewhere, and the deal is gone. We had a thread to discuss this ongoing issue but it was closed some time ago. People have to remember that you're not just sharing with FT, you are sharing with the entire internet. FT -> SD -> Blog 1 ->2 -> etc. All it took was a little research to find this deal but once again making it front and center seems to be the ONLY approach here now.
