Ok, sure, those kinds of comments are pretty silly and, as you say, OMAT has more than its share of that sort of thing. (For what it's worth, I also skip most of the esoterica involving premium cabin redemptions on foreign airlines and almost anything having to do with credit cards.) But I think saying that OMAT's and TPG's comments are "on a par" with each other isn't really defensible. Put differently, I think that fawning silliness (OMAT) and simple lack of sophistication (TPG) are two very different problems. Perhaps in your view both problems nonetheless conflate into one -- the comments just aren't worthwhile -- but in my view the more insightful comments on OMAT make all the difference . . . or at least a lot of difference a lot of the time.

As I've said before about Boarding Area as a whole, I would certainly agree that you do have to pick and choose what you read.
