Ozstamps: In his announcement Dan at Webflyer said "we had sent an email out to all registered FlyerTalkers to invite them to participate", therefore I think Boomers comment is entierly fair.

Dorian: Maybe one of the reasons old timers don't comment (if your assertion is correct) is that we are too long in the tooth to care less about this kind of stuff. Personally every time I hear the word "guru" I want to chuck-up. I am sure Randy is a fine man and a successful businessman, but the shameless self publicity is a massive turn-off for me.

I know some of you will criticise me for saying anything negative about our host, but maybe a few more people are realising that this board has a commercial purpose and is not some kind of great philanthropical gesture.

My view is that Boomer is entierly correct, if the pay back for this board is a survey - fine, e-mail it to us and let us respond. But why the hell some of you guys want to kneel down is homage to the great "guru" is beyond me.
