Goldlust,
I witheld comment when you and Empress selected which FTers would be worthy of your "list" and I maintain that I have never sought inclusion in either the "list" or "new list"; only to keep on associating with Randy's FT community.
There are some of us who realized your "terms" might deviate from FT's ideals (open discussions on all things travel-related), so your "list" wasn't that appealing. This is just a difference of opinions and not a personal attack.
WSJ's publishing your SAN "list party" in March must have been disappointing and I'm sorry that I made light of it in my earlier post. Personally, I try to be more reflective and less narcisstic.
