Iwildernorva: One of the more interesting aspects of all this is how FlyerTalk stacks up against the blogs and, as you point out, this time the folks on the BA forum "who know their stuff" came out way, way ahead. (Ctownflyer's blog got also it right.) So I read the blogs -- or at least the better ones with actual original content as opposed to mostly "me, too" credit-card posts -- mostly for entertainment and I read FlyerTalk mostly for hard-core information. If I actually find a great blog post, I'm surprised and delighted. Plus, some of the worst blogs are entertaining as well, but only in a car-wrecks-are-interesting sort of way.
