You do have to admit: FT looks more and more like a typical internet bulletin board
every day (at least outside the specific airline forums)

And that really is sad! It's why I won't even go near anything travel related over AOL or other places. Such dribble.

Now on this issue of people only helping those helping others: I disagree. The problem is there is so MUCH material here and so little time it is often difficult to answer EVERY question and concern.

I do try to help people, whether a new poster or a seasoned veteran. Sometiems if it's an old question I leave it to soemone else to give it a shot! (Hey! for example it was responding to a newbee that I found one of my bestest friends on F-T: wanderlust.)

What PremEx did was good with teh U-A site. In fact two of friends NON Flyertalk members got some valuable information from it.

And I don't see this cliquish nature that some members are accused of being part of (I've been accused of being part of this alleged clique by some people.) Well if there is one, where's my membership card and what's the secret handshake?

Guess what folks? the outsiders like some of my non-traveling friends think WE ARE ALL PART OF THE CLIQUE CALLED FLYERTALK!!! So congratuattions, we are ALL IN IT and in it good (including the newbees!)
