Of course you're right
pinniped, as was Randy in his allegorical-addendum: the story sucked, or in another words, the accusations are without merit. Note to the editor who okayed this story in its current form: you work for the New York Times, as does your writer. Show some decency and do some background please.

Yet some of the points (inadvertently made in the story) are valid, and Randy, in your post above you yourself pointed out the slide of ff programs' quality when you defended marginal perks such as the "last award seat available" et al.
Keepin' it intense and civilized ya'all.
