Like someone said recently, to talk about something it's good idea to learn the fact first.
Why would it not make sense to do reports on his paid domestic travels. THAT makes no sense. I think there would be more of a readership interest then for other trip reports.
So he stopped saying that one can travel for free three years ago? That would be about the time I stopped reading him on a regular basis as I got sick of his credit card shilling so people could "travel for free". I only go over if someone here (whose opinion I respect) mentions something that has been posted on the his blog. Glad to see he has mended his ways and is not claiming that flying in F is free.
Having been a FT member for 13 years I do remember when Ben (on FT) and his blog were a lot different and IMHO better than they are today. I think I know the facts. I will say I admire the way he can pump out posts.
