wrote: hmmm, advertising. Being paid to? No. I subscribe to several different airlines' email updates and post here to let others know that they are available. Unless you subscribe to these, you are not aware when they come up. I post here to let people know they are available. Over the years, I have come to know of several people who have seen specials posted to the board [and not always by me] and who have decided to take advantage of them - many are those who lurk in the background 'sitting on the fence' about going down under but when they see a special come up, they go for it! As you probably are aware, downunder airfares from the US are one of, if not the, most expensive you can get! Currently, I could purchase four tickets from LAX to London for the price of one of the cheaper economy tickets from LAX to Australia or NZ. Usually, when one airline drops their prices/runs specials, the other quickly follows suit. When I receive an email from the other [in this case it would be Air NZ] I post that as well. FYI, no-one can obtain a commission from web only fares! Many airlines in the US no longer pay commissions hence the traveller has to pay often between US$25 and $75 fee to the travel agent! I do not hold a current State et al licence so cannot work for commission or payment. I receive up to 50 plus emails a day from sources within the airline & travel industries. Most are about Australia travel & tourism but I rarely post any of those due to the more limited nature of them. FYI, Qantas is doing a good number of tieing up the Australian-US service and is currently preventing Singapore Airlines from expanding. So who suffers from this - the persons who want to travel. There is a whole different side to the Australian travel & toursim industry that the general public are not aware of! Cath |

I post here to let people know they are available. And thankyou very much for doing so. I have just subscribed to this newsgroup today in the hope of planning a trip for Ireland/Uk to Cairns next spring and this is exactly the sort of info I need. Thanks Suzanne |

my two cents worth: Cath has been a vigilent member of this newsgroup for years, always going after the advertisers that try to post here. She has always been fair with people who just want to share information, such as she was doing. You think? She sent me a snotty email after I replied to someone's question about VIP cards. My crime was to include my website in my sig, which is considered widely acceptable by most Netiquette guidelines. And my site's a personal site with my trip reports on it. It does have some banner ads, but I'm not selling anything. I've spent hours doing it and it costs me money.

This is the email I sent: "Please note, per the newsgroup's Charter/FAQ, commerical advertising including adding a url to a website, is unacceptable. The Charter/FAQ is posted on either the first or second of each month.

But it's OK for you, a travel agent, to post an advert for Qantas containing their website address is it? How is that not commercial? I stand by the email I sent you as your site does contain advertising. So do many people's personal sites. If it was a commercial site, it would be a particularly poor business. So far income is zero, and outgoings aren't. Do you complain to people who include their company name in their signature too? And you are the only person who has ever complained on this newsgroup or any other. So I will continue to join in the discussions on here. Having been backpacking around Oz 5 times now, I've got plenty of practical experience.
