Well I attribute it to "bigger issues" to fix IT wise before we (IHG) get to this one. As always on FT, the day this is gone / stops working we will hear an outcry while we all ushered in the demise of it. Same goes for some bloggers who need to add value for their readership.
Anyways, it is what it is, but there is a reason why many seasoned FTers have gotten very cautious to post / publish / talk about any tricks or hacks these days as sharing such is the first step to getting it kill*d off some day. Probably more suitable for a philosophical OMNI thread
. YMMV.
