As you point out, "this thread is about a low fare request forum". My statements were in that context. I think it is fair to say that anyone requesting help with fare research gets the Abu Gharib treatment.
This thread is about a low fare request forum - and I just don't think that FlyerTalk is a travel agency, nor should it be.
Sure, I won't ask you to book my cruise, Fedex the tickets to me, arrange for my visa, and change my return date, etc.
That's what travel agencies do.
FT is not a photography store, but we discuss cameras and prices. FT is not a luggage store, but we discuss luggage and prices. What's the big deal about discussing airfares then, which too are a part of travel?
