I don't see the issue. People value many things differently. Naturally, on this forum, most people scoff at those who wouldn't "waste" money on an expensive meal, but off forum, many people are politely curious (and yes, likely scoff at us), but just not obsessed like some on here. I agree totally with JohnK's comment that what we do is not normal. Also remember that many people are excited by the thought of holiday's, but hold an anxiety about the flying and the thought of actually planning holidays around the flight is somewhat of a foreign concept.
The other thing is that some people don't want to believe they're missing/missed out and this is evident even here on AFF. Take the scripting thread and dare I say it ... the unwritten benefit thread. Some will argue black and blue that something doesn't or shouldn't exist if they think they've missed out and at times become quite ridiculous (not to mention rude) with their arguments in order to mitigate their own disappointment.
Horses for courses and we should be thrilled that not everyone are interested!
