Tonight Tim O’Reilly wrote an interesting retweet, “Britain halts airport expansion plans to stop "binge flying." Go UK!!! http://nyti.ms/bBmmik.” Britain’s coalition government has refused to build new runways around London to curb “binge flying.” This is a strange thing for Tim O’Reilly to cheer for, after all one of the things he does for a living is organize conferences.

Still to come this year, he has OSCON 2010 in Portland, OR, Gov 2.0 Summit in DC, Web 2.0 Expo in NYC, and Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco.

If O’Reilly has the strength of his convictions, he would cancel these conferences so it does not lead to the “binge flying” he apparently disagrees with. Of does he not have the strength of his convictions?
