I say it that way because you would have no way of knowing the "why" that things turned out the way they did. It would be like having a picture of a turnip and saying that you know exactly where the earth is in it's orbit. Wouldn't it be better to affect things that you can truly influence rather than continually worry about those that you can't? This kind of attitude keeps us stuck in the mud rather than moving forward, and I am not just picking on you Elvis. Calling others that don't buy into Caplinger's logic gets one called a "cheerleader" or "apologist". His vendetta against all those that don't agree with his desire to torpedo fNWA and now DAL by default is very successful. qoud erat demonstratum.

T,
PMFJIH, 1st, pretty coherent post with which I can track pretty clearly - 12 step program aside (this is APC where 12 step programs are not allowed).
Just a slight logic adjustment though. If your issue is with Caplinger's vendetta (which it may well be, IDK), which was sprinkled on already fertile ground (ALPA mistrust), releasing survey results either solidify the mistrust or they destroy the mistrust.
The real issue is the fertile ground. The turnip (survey) would be proof of life on earth and a reason to return to it. WALL-E reference aside.
PS, IMO you attacked Elvis first, what you got was his response.
