Appropriately enough, I just added that same point in, seemingly right around the time you posted.
I'd also like to really thank
beltway for all his hard work this GS. I think one important lesson we've learned for next year is to let him run things again

Aw, shucks. I'd settle for people a) only starting meritorious threads and then b) committing to updating post #1 for the long haul.
EDIT: Two people who stuck to it this year are rob_flies_ua (hotel transfers) and lowfareair (hotel stays). ^ ^
While we're handing out thanks, I think San Diego 1K deserves much
kudos for creating the sub-forum, as do our two remaining moderators for their work in keeping the undergrowth properly trimmed & pruned. (Heck, they get credit just for surviving. GS claimed 33% of the team this year.
