I still go to tripso.com (originally because of Christopher, but now I am a big fan of James Wysong). I enjoyed Elliot more when he was writing for USA Today and tended to rip the air carriers and other travel providers a new one every other column (his hatred for US Air, I believe, was a big contributing factor to his departure from the paper). In fact, I was so annoyed when he left USA Today that I actually wrote them an e-mail expressing my disappointment.
He's kind of lost his edge--I enjoy it more when he forces travel providers to own up to their mistakes rather than when he spotlights stupidity on the travelers' parts. All part of the fun of "sticking it to the man."
