To me, TravelBuzz is primarily a place for postings that either don't fit well into just one forum or to ask for general travel-related info that the user doesn't know the answer to. It isn't "OMNI that just happens to have a travel connection."

But the occasional unusual survey question can add flavor, so for me, a large portion of the problem is that the current flock of questions are (a) stupid and (b) way, way too frequent.

Is someone really adding value to FT if all they do is start threads like this and never help anyone else by otherwise contributing?

I can ignore one or two, but it's hard when the whole first page of the forum is dominated by them. These stupid questions have, for me, destroyed the value of what once was one of the most interesting forums in FT. I know I am not the only one.
