I can't speak for other sites, but in the case of OMAAT this is patently false, and I'm only chiming in here because this is a particular point of pride. While our team at PP will feed Ben stories from their experiences with client bookings, or occasionally help with testing/researching, there are otherwise no unnamed contributors writing on One Mile at a Time. If a post has Ben's (or anyone else's) name at the top, it was written by that person, with perhaps some help from me on formatting a table or whatever else.

As far as James is concerned, we've addressed this several times in the comments when readers have asked, so it's not a secret. He is writing for TPGUK under his given name -- it's a tremendous opportunity for him, and while we were given very little notice, we certainly respect his choice and are happy for him.
