Let me offer some closing comments as a FlyerTalk volunteer: The idea of a minimum post count and FT membership term as a prerequisite to OMNI admission is to emphasize that the 99% of what makes up FlyerTalk (frequent travel programs and travel itself) is the appropriate focus of FlyerTalk and OMNI is meant to be a side-forum/periodic diversion where members can meet to discuss non-travel topics. Since we should be discussing travel topics in TravelBuzz and this thread has aired a range of views, I'll close this now. Those who have suggestions about OMNI access may address them in the Only Randy Petersen forum or by email. Thanks, Ocn Vw 1K, CoMod, TravelBuzz.
