I think most of us would use such an error or glitch in his favor. But I think that's not Rudi's point.

The question is: would you publicly post your finding here? Yes, you will make some fellow FT'ers happy. But depending on the quality of that error the airline will most probably fix it shortly.

I, too am very glad to have this community here. And there is a good number of FT members not only taking but also giving. I also understand that I have an obilgation to Randy for providing this platform. He has the possibility to make business out of great tips and findings here on ft.com. This is O.K. for me.

But sometimes (and this feeling has developed the last weeks) I am a little bit sick that apparently 'lurker-only' members of the board only pick information to profit but do not share anything with the board. And I really get angry on those people selling information they gathered here on ebay.

And this leads into my decission to not post each and every finding here in the future anymore. If I find a real loophole that I want to be kept as long as possible I would use other means to exchange information with those ft'ers I've got to know personally and where I know they will share their private findings openly with me, too.

Don't misunderstand me. I will still participate actively here and share much information that I think is interesting. But there may be some special things I would not post here any longer. I don't want to assist those 'lurker-only' types of fellows which only want to gain maximum profit out of ft.com without contributing anything.
