I value the profit for all FlyerTalkers to learn and use the tips instantly (but may be for a shorter period only) higher than the exclusive privilege for a few for (may be only) a longer time.

I am very pleased that such an esteemed member of FT has weighed in with his opinion.
WHile I understand the practicality of keeping loopholes for oneself and ones friends, I come to FT for what I may learn and for what I may share. If I don;t learn how to look for tips I won't evr have much to share. I totally agre w/ Rudi that even if a loophole closes early, if it benefits the larger group I am all for it. I didn;t join FT to be in a new club w/ a secret handshake - I joined because an online friend, dhammer53, suggested it. I found it to be a place where a LOT of the posters know more than myself but I am learning...and I have found new friends and relish the info we share. But if it turns into a group ull of email lists it won't be as valuable or as heartwarming.
