What can I say? The words "thank you" just never seem to be enough for the best memories you've all added to my very happy life.

I really don't think you need a Do for me, the bookends of the first large-scale DO in hawaii in 1999 (PIP—Party in Paradise DO) and then my last DO, the Star Mega DO2 and all else in the the middle are truly the best. And I've lived the other DOs vicariously through all of you.

My goal is certainly to help anyone who needs help the next month or so, making sure that FlyerTalk remains comfortable for you. Maybe after the first of the year when I've had a chance to look back a little I'll see what makes sense.

In the meantime, what about if one of you came to me for a RanDO? I'm very proud of the story of FlyerTalk, the failure at the very beginning in 1995 (how many of you knew that part?) and the restart and then success. I've got the stories and of course the memories of members long past, members who likely would have caused heart-attacks for anyone less healthy, and of course my proud examples of paying it forward to our members and to charities that the many members support. Anyway, I'm thinking of inviting one of you to the first RanDO and here's the idea—read post #21 (which is a reply to #20) here:

I truly am honored you'd want to spend even more time with me!!!!!
