Now that the furor has died down a bit...
A couple of months ago I was planning to take a sick friend to TPA and I was looking for strategies to get upgraded.
Within several hours, I had several people respond via FT or e-mail offering their miles.
I used my own mileage (but appreciated their offer). My point is that I was merely asking for IDEAS and many people OFFERED. Certainly the fact that I've been on this board for a little over a year helped my credibility.
FT is a home for generous souls. But since the very large influx of users since the Pudding Guy story broke, it is easy to grow a little suspicious.
Maybe this thread got a little too heated at times, but BOTH sides in this argument have their point.
