You can decide if you believe they were whom they said they were, but their negative description of a Flyer Talker might actually describe me well.
Haha. I guess forums sort of date us. However, the 140-word limit makes it harder to discuss how to game the AA system.
I think the main thing is FT must just have that much smaller of a footprint, compared to twitter, in the AA space. It's a lot easier for any random joe/jane to sign up for a twitter account and complain, then it is to sign up for FT and post something, so AA cares less because we don't have the numbers.
