Newself was one of the first FlyerTalkers I met more than a decade ago when I was an FT newbie. To me he was one of the faces of FlyerTalk. It was truly a shock to hear of his passing today, too soon, too soon... Flyertalk, and the world for that matter, is a little darker without him. My most sincere condolences and prayers to Dave's family. Thanks for everything Dave, you are missed.
