Dude, take the L. But for that false story being recited, you wouldn't have made that point in the first place.

> For everyone flabbergasted by Southwest running ~Windows 3.1~ old software

You said it; own it. You could have said "For everyone who was tricked by the joke that Southwest runs ~Windows 3.1~ old software" but didn't.



That is fair. I wasn't aware of the kerfuffle around whether Southwest was using 3.1 or not. I took the source and linked source at face value. It would have been nice to have had someone do more than "nope" and instead link to a reputable source. This is how you counter disinformation.


It had already been done a dozen times in the original item across multiple threads.
