MilesBuzz! - FlyerTalk makes news in Canada's National Newspaper

Take a peek: http://www.globeandmail.com/gam/Travel/20000209/TR9BIZ.html

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 (http://members.aol.com/hawaiipip) 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! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

My "hometown" newpaper publishes a article and I do not get mentioned. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

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? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

This just proves that "old soldiers never die."

Apparently they become travel writers.
