Let's see, there were some helpful answers which I will pursue and then obviously the cynics kicked. I guess it's very comfortable to categorize all reporters as lazy, crafting stories to fit their own personal agenda.

Then again I guess it's easy to categorize mileage runners as people with nothing better to do than sit at computer, finding cheap multi-segment flights and spend their lives on airplanes for the fun of it, only to earn so many more miles so they can sit on more airplanes.

I didn't expect an attack from this group. I'll personally email those who have sent me their leads and let you know what I find. Thanks.
