Today in the comments section of a VFTW blog entry -- in the course of an exchange (there about the history of the SkyPesons terminology) between the blogger and another person -- I posted about how DL SkyPesos was the successor to "Delta pesos", with the latter certainly not invented by the VFTW blogger. I even presented evidence showing that "delta pesos" was in use at least some months before the December 2009 reference (from Flyertalk) to SkyPesos made by the VFTW blogger and which was put up by the blogger in the comments section to claim credit as the creator of the "SkyPesos" term.
I don't know what I want to make of that, but it is interesting to me.
Sometimes comments have to be approved by Gary.
But there's a weird thing there where if I comment as 'kokonutz' the post never appears. If I post as 'kokomutz' it does.
Maybe our user names are blocked!?
Nah, your comments are up there.
FWIW, Gary's not an AEI guy. He's a Koch/libertarian guy.
And it seems really important to him to have been the one to take Delta Pesos and made it SkyPesos. So we ought to just give it to him. ^
Of course, if I was Delta I'm not sure I'd even bother messing with the Freddies since it's operator hates them so much.
