I don't believe that's what GU said. You asked if he had 'inside information' and he replied that he didn't. I think his point was that information provided in wikis of various threads can potentially reduce the snarkiness or noise to signal ratio when FTers ask the same (basic) questions over & over.
It can be easier to create a wiki on certain items or to provide some basic information or a heads up on something in an airline/hotel forum to try & reduce some basic stuff being asked over & over & then some FTers being snarky. He said nothing about FT being a wiki/no contribution/discussion BB. At least that's my take on his post.
Cheers.
