Does anyone think Delta Skymiles seem to be giving away too many bonus miles?

Does anyone think Delta Skymiles seem to be giving away too many bonus miles at an alarming rate?

Not a day goes by without hearing about some kind of special bonus (double, triple, or whatever) on the local radio.(in addition to targeted emails, mailing, website, etc...)

I guess I'm a little paranoid, but this really reminded me of the last two years of the original Pan Am. At that time, I flew dozens and dozens of Pan Am Shuttle flightst between BOS-LGA and LGA-DCA. At $29 per flight, thanks to the speical 10-flight coupon books for college students. The bonus miles were 6 to 8 times the normal miles. To make it short, I spent around $2000 and my family of 4 flew to Europe in first class 4 times just before Pan Am went out of business. When Delta took over, the remaining miles got transferred to Skymiles.
