I don't understand this trend of hostility from some FTers...it feels as if sometimes you are in communist Russia and are guilty until proven innocent (and even then, you aren't trusted...).

I remember a year or so ago I posted something about a bad stay in one of the hotels in the UK. I had no reason to lie about it...I wasn't asking for sympathy, but just wanted to share and see if anyone had any advice. While most people responded in a respectful manner, some guy questioned and re-questioned me on just about everything, more or less calling me a liar. Whatever. I just don't understand why people have to assume such a tone of negativity on here? Everyone is just trying to contribute and learn. If you have doubts, why not email the people who run the site/company? Why not do some research? Why do you start calling the OP out on this? He's not a 1st time poster...and if one must have 3,000 posts to have his/her posts trusted, then I think this speaks volumes about how jaded some people on here have become.

I, for one, wouldn't benefit from this service, but I think it's a cool offer and if somebody spends a ton of $$ on telecom, why not explore it? Hell...some people here dig through trash in convention centers for Coke caps. Emailing a site seems to be a lot less of an effort.
