Goldlust and Empress,

I really appreciate your efforts, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

First, we must avoid unwanted company, so the list will be very restricted. Since "paranoid" is the keyword, none of the 2001 registered members (hey, that's me ) should be allowed. Also the person must have some FT background, history, "roots". Perhaps Evangelist should be a minimum requirement, or referal from a very small group of FT unanimities, like Rudi (to pick up my prefered FTer).

In any way, you see it will be a select and small group. Who will feed this group with the special prices, loopholes, etc? I don't think this people can go alone much further. See, for example, that the rate which originated this idea was the first and so far only post from brand new FTer TempeFlyer (Thanks TempeFlyer ).
Perhaps FT will be the source?

Ok, you may say people should be aware to not posting on FT, but send you the info. But hey, if a non-member send you a profitable tip, isn't he allowed to get into the list? And if it is a trap by some airline/hotel, willing to lose some money now to make friends and catch all future loopholes? Paranoid to the extreme level...

You may also say that airlines/hotels will catch anyway, but the list will make things a bit more difficult. I agree, but in this case a lot of FTers unware of the list will not profit from loopholes. And, IMO, this is against the nature of FT itself. Wish to listen from Randy and other old timers about it.

Note that my opinion doen't take the great merit from this community minded initiative.
