The way I understand their economics is, that you do not pay them per night, but per hour. I never heard of someone actually staying overnight in one of them, since that should be prohibitively expensive.

Extending reach isn't necessarily a good thing. Just like with software, expanding until it can read email isn't necessarily a good thing. Why not have a different award? Though, not sure why people even want awards.

Hi, I created an account to say this: my grandfather was there after the bombing and said that the numbers where heavily downplayed. They were saying 30k, when in fact, it was at least 75k, probably way more. It hurts me personally to have
