Forgetting the reason for the list of codes, I've always thought FT was somewhat operated for the benefit of its members generally (OK, I know Randy sold advertising and hopefully made a profit) as opposed to a particular travel provider or particular individuals using the board.

Taking this post down shows that's simply not true. What's next? If I have a bad experience at a hotel and want to post it here, will MR insist FT take the post down?
