I apologise for taking so long to address your question - I've been away from FT for a few days.
By the way, how did you find this? If it was by some means other than remembering more about it than did I and then searching on it, I would appreciate knowing how to find old threads in the new system. Thanks.
I cheated a bit. I remembered that it was started by GoldFlyer (it's mentioned quite a bit in the Qantas forum) and did a search in Trip Reports for threads started by him. So sorry, but I don't have any searching wisdom to share.
