Then I guess we are the founding forefathers. 
Seriously, FT has grown to a good size. I think only those who register should have access. Access would still be free but not completely open. Other websites make you register. We should know who is visiting FT plus it would also help us overall with statistics- ie. we could say FT has 6 million UA mileage plus members or 240000 Hyatt Gold Passport members.

Why is it that quite a lot of folks who want on "the list" are either very new to FT and/or have a hotmail style email/no email?
I'm sure that if I were the webmaster of an airline site I would get my a** on the list before it gets kicked due to some pricing type...

How would you know about all "special prices"?
You may have to ask the members of this board to e-mail you all and every "great deals"
You have mail.

Not to ruin the fun of the "lurker conspiracy theory", but wouldn't make more sense to believe that the reason the special deals are gone shortly after they've been posted is that so many people take advantage that they run out of seats, rooms, coupons, etc?
Good luck to the offshoot group, but it sounds like much more trouble than its worth.
