Fair enough, I definitely wasn't perfect. But at least 12 bloggers made posts about burning BA miles due to an imminent devaluation.

In the first post I broke down the hysterics by showing the numerous difference between IB/BA and that I wouldn't be worried about IB changes meaning anything.

Gary made a comment on that post and then made a post responding to that about how it is very worrying.

And then I saw Google Cache had the same IB award chart in their cache from July and got the PM from travellair confirming that IB pricing has been the same way since Avios launched which of course sealed the deal and I made the second post correcting the situation...
