I quite agree! This thread has gone from BA ordering A380s, to stern wagging Pprune fingers at the BA management because anybody with a keyboard thinks they know where BA management has gone seriously wrong, to how the A380 will fail, to how it's an ugly duck, to how it's not so bad after all, to how good looking the VC10 was (it was). So pardon the absurdity, but while people seem to be curiously hung up on 'the A380 is going to fail' thing, we might as play the absurd card for all its worth! This thread long ago outlived its news potential.
