fisch: Thanks for the link, and congratulations to you, Empress, Catman and Pudding Guy for mentions.

And to comment on the quote at the bottom of the story, well, everyone I've met so far from FlyerTalk does have a life, and many have pretty interesting ones at that!

Congrats--yes I'm sure the quote is out of context.

There is at least one error in the story. Rudi is comfortably ahead of Catman.

A group of them, all strangers to each other, arranged to fly to Hawaii recently to spend a weekend discussing freqeunt flier programs. One man was worried it might all be a scam -- that he would be the only one there, says Randy Petersen
All right! Fess up. Was it you Catman!

My "hometown" newpaper publishes a article and I do not get mentioned.

PG: I knew you would catch that error. Would you like me to call the Globe and print a retraction??

IT's nice to be mentioned, never-the-less.

PremEx: how did you know?

This just proves that "old soldiers never die."

Apparently they become travel writers.
