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...
Reading the comments on your two posts, yes, your skepticism is evident (and correct). As is your analysis of how VFTW's post was starting a needless panic.

So nice job. ^
