I started visiting here in early 99. (I sporadically posted under Shamrock then but my registration was somehow lost a few months ago. Tech support knows about this.) Back then, I knew that if there was a good deal, I would be immediately informed of it just by coming to the Buzz. I assume that most people who travel a lot on business try to stick with one airline and one hotel as much as possible. But for those non-business travelers accumulate "free" ff miles whenever they can (credit cards, clickrewards, phone deals, surveys, etc.) it is almost impossible to keep track of the deals posted in every forum. I am not that particular about which airline I earn free miles with--I just collect them as I can. They often start to add up to a reward at some time or other. I am probably in the minority, but I miss the "old" Buzz.
