My position is not really about sharing v. not sharing, it is about all the bashing and nashing of teeth that goes on when someone does elect to share.

I respect those who want to secret away great routings for their own use, but I am offended by those who attack posters who want to help community members by revealing the great finds they have made.

Case in point, I was fortunate enough to use a recent routing to my great benefit. I shared back my twist on the routing, which I gained using methods revealed to me by FT. I immediately received PM's demanding that I edit out my comments because the discussed routing was something the sender had known about for quite some time and didn't want to lose because suddenly I knew about it as well.

I did edit out the specifics because I saw the OP has done the same and I figured s/he owned the thread. However, the experience of having those who have a private circle and know the great deals trolling to prevent others from learning them left me feeling very uneasy.
