I am not a daily reader of that forum. I am not even a yearly reader of the forum. In fact, if it weren't for this thread I wouldn't even know that the forum exists.
The beauty of the "My FlyerTalk" function is that each member can decide for himself what forums interest him and never see any of the other forums (unless, of course, he decides to go to the main page to see what else is happening).
Clearly, from what I have read on this thread, there are FTers who are interested in the External Miles forum so why would anyone want to deprive them of it?
