All should have an equal opportunity for election.
2. What are your views on having at least one non-guaranteed US member on the board?
3. What sort of time can you give to the board? I.e. once a week, twice a week?
4. What’s your view on the $15 to pay for FlyerTalk Premium?
And I don't think that offering FT Premium was his way to turn a profit. It came about from member requests for an ad-free environment and I think it serves that purpose well. If he can also pick up a few shekels to cover some expenses, then it's a win/win in my opinion.

One time, at the Portland brew fest, I bought the entire FT contingent dinnerand drinks. And the fact that I dont REMEMBER doing this does nothing to mitigate the fact that i DID it...
does this answer the question?

I have a question for my fellow candidates:
If you could be any animal, what animal would you be and why?
My answer is a liger. It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

And in tonight's poetry corner...
My time here I’ve truly adored
Giving back would be ample reward
Please see what I wrote
And I ask for your vote
To represent all on the board

Foolish candidates
Promise free beer like junior high.
I promise free miles.
