First things first, a general Q & A corner definitely will make FT less intimating for newbies and more friendly for jack of "all miles & points."

I'd
spoken my mind about the separation of general Q& As from award planning. Even though disappointed in the direction the current TB is heading w/r/t award planning, I believe the wording of subtitle is supposed to be self-explanatory, instead of creating unnecessary confusion. The current proposed subtitle of "New Member Q&A and Award Travel Advice" can be wrongly interpreted in two ways:
I. it's only for new members; and
II. an open invitation to ask a program-specific question in this proposed new forum, when such question should be addressed in each designated forum.

If the subtitle had been worded as "
Including New Member Q&A and Non-Program-Specific Award Travel Advice", members would have had a better idea:
1) Information Desk is NOT just for newbies;
2) NOT to ask program-specific questions here so MODs wouldn't be loaded with thread relocation tasks.
Just some food for thought.
