If you look back at some of the recent threads on AC/Canadian you'll see the dangers of too much publicity. What began as a simple newspaper article on the MHD (Mexican Hat Dance)- a way to avoid high transcon fare s in Canada by flying through Mexico using legal routings - ended up with AC/MX/MX changing the rules on those routes. Almost certainly, this was a consequnce of the widespread discussion of this technique. Several of us on the AC/CP were approached by reporters, one of whom even wanted to do a flyalong.

My advice, be cautious, unless it's an innocuous story, and even then, be cauious.
