Your call, but more fuel for the fire for the cliqueness of Flyertalk. Only if you attend the meetings can you hear the 'real' juicy details -- even if that's the first flyertalk meeting you attend and you never post to the bulletin board or provide anything else valuable to the bulletin board.

Thanks for your help tvl4free in one of my previous last minute trips, but I am disappointed in you. Hopefully those in San Diego will benefit from your decision.
