I'm directly aware of the situation regarding revenue within Boarding Area. The situation presented in that post is not entirely accurate. There's also the part where the comment made on LT was not specific to Boarding Area, but no one wants to consider that because it isn't nearly as useful to the story line being played here.

And they screwed up, too. They were called on it here and you should be too. Nothing good comes from having one set of blogs held to a different standard.

Among the claims I find suspect is the suggestion that there has been a sudden shift in content to focus more on CC posts. I do not believe that is at all true. In fact I'd bet that the numbers have been the same on average for more than a year now. Feel free to show some evidence to the contrary with counts on the number of posts, but the folks shilling for CCs have a DL AmEx post every now and then and have for a long time now. That's not new.

Heck, the actual number of posts overall on a per blogger basis hasn't even really changed. But you've claimed that as well.

Yes, you have a wild and active imagination. That's fine. But the conclusions you've drawn miss reality. Just like the Avios posts earlier in the week you were so quick to judge.
