An official lurker for the AF forum??

From the most recent edition of TalkMail received today:

Air France Frequence Plus members rejoice. Word has it that very soon
there will be a new moderator for the forum with "insider" knowledge of
the program. That's all we're saying and if anyone asks, you didn't hear
it from us.
Well, first of all, I don't think they meant to use the term "moderator": I can't imagine Randy appointing an AF company rep to be moderator of this forum ... talk about a really twisted version of the "inmates taking over the asylum" ...

And besides, our beloved dctorres already does such a fabulous job!

I suspect they meant that someone from AF/F+ will be lurking here in a somewhat official "ombudsman" capacity.

In any event, what do you all make of this? Is this a good thing? A bad thing? Or an AF PR stunt to soften the blow while rolling out the new FlyingBlue program? The timing seems a bit suspect to me, especially for a program that has never received very high marks for being customer-driven/responsive.

We'll see... Maybe it's a sign that they want the Flying Beurk program to be more responsive, especially since they expected bad reactions, esp. from the FD crowd? Maybe they're taking the Internet into account in their strategy, which may let us hope for an e-mail address to contact F+ officially? We'll see...

KLM Customer Loyalty contact advised about some type of lurker being finalized.

I hope that means they will merge the KLM and AF forum. It doesn't make sense to have two forums discussing the same mileage program.
