Jaunted

When Arthur Frommer discovered our site, the thousands of visitors nearly brought our site down.  

I've followed Arthur for years in his books, on his radio program, and more recently on his blog.  His devotion to travel and consumer advocacy is unequaled.  

Here's wishing Arthur many thousands more posts.

Aloha, Jeff

What's with your snarky list of links to his columns? What's the problem with him writing about the recovery of New Orleans as it stood three years after the storm?  Frommer wasn't even writing a blog for a year and a half after Hurricane Katrina, but Jaunted's implication seems to be he ignored it at the time. A hundred travel sections talk about New Orleans the same way, and the Times' ethics are always being inspected, even this week by the McCain/Obama people. The author of this item should just come out and say what they mean. Is this a congratulatory post, or a flame?

Oh, god, Jaunted isn't going to be one of those blogs where the writers can't write a post without making a dig of some kind, is it? Where if it's not "cool," it's mocked? So unnecessarily cynical. So not what travel brings into my life.
