It would be naive to think only the 10 active commenters here were the ones benefiting.
I think you didn't read my comment, that's exactly what I meant...the HH on private forums themselves killed it. Exposing it to a few more casual users wouldn't have made much of a difference. That's exactly what I said.
If you deal in enough secretive forums and hundreds of people are involved, I'm sure many of those have blogs or are connected to major bloggers, so any secret would have been exposed by now.
If that's the way you want to play this, then don't bother posting anything here at all unless it's obvious major news (like cashback on portals going up/down). That's why FT has become kind of a joke for any MS tricks lately.
