What I have learned on FT more than exceeds the value of the time I spend reading. Much more! Anyone who wants to argue with me can fly coach!
Many people assume that I don't know much; so I just let them keep their own opinions. They are in the back of the bus while I am up front most of the time, have miles for vacation travel and get in the First class/ Biz check in line. As my old mother used to say 'so?'

Well, while we're on this topic, I'll confess to also being addicted. But as has been said already, there are worse addictions.
I'm a TA and can usually skate it by the boss as "doing fare research". I've also learned many things on FT AC forum well ahead of any notificated we get from AC. I find the community invaluable to bounce ideas off or gripe about some problem as none of the resort of my family/friends understands/cares.
Realized was addicted during recent trip to Marriott Kauai Resort and was indoors checking FT! Remembered I was in paradise, so logged off and played rest of the week in the surf.

I could not agree more. I could just as easily be reading a magazine/staring at a blank computer screen, etc. My respect goes to managers who measure results, not means.
I've more or less been told that Internet usage is being tracked here. My review is on January 7...we'll see if FT comes up.
