I'm completely unclear on how something like an email list that everyone is on is really any different than posting directly to the board. Couldn't people on the list be the very ones tipping off airlines for a profit?
As for errors, ethical discussions aside, don't you think the airline or hotels notice this when there's a flood of reservations coming in? That would happen whether it's on the board or on an emailed list. On the errors, what I've noticed from past threads is it tends to be FTers who make reservations and then call the hotel or airline to make sure their reservation will be honored who first tip the corporate folks off that they've got a mistake out there.
