Do people actually think there aren't cliques at FT? That all info might actually be shared with everyone? Amazing thought. I mean, yes, maybe to make it work I have to pretend that it's true, but it won't actually be true.

Meanwhile, I'll just go on, pretending like I belong, posting info I think is useful when people ask about it. I doubt I'll ever find you the latest greatest way to make easy elite level. I haven't ever managed to make such levels myself, not even after reading plenty here on FT. (I just don't have the kind of money and/or travel-heavy job that so many of you have.) But I do know my contributions won't be totally worthless.

I continue to read and post here because I can't possibly ever have enough travel info and I enjoy helping those who I can help. It's enough, really. Plus, the conversation tends to be intelligent and fun, even if it's something in Omni. Hey, yeah, I love a great deal tip or few, but I probably won't get to use most of them.

So I will continue to pretend that no one actually says "That idiot, he doesn't travel very much, what's he doing here, he has nothing of use to me." Or things to that effect. Most people probably don't think such things, and that is what matters.
