I already subscribed to Inside Flyer after seeing Randy on some T-V show (I think it was "Good Morning America") and there was a brief burb in "Inside Flyer" about this interactive forum called "FlyerTalk" plus word of a contest to answer a trivia question to win 1000 Click Rewards points.

I think it went for 2 weeks. Sistertodd annoyed me by posting repeatedly (I guess she's lost in cyberspace for too many posts!)
I won the last day with a question about how many miles it would take to get a business class ticket from Dublin to NYC. I was so happy, the only thing I ever won before was McDonald's French Fries (and a 90 percent scholarship to NYU!)

SO I got up the courage one day to ask a question and some responded and I posted some more and I guess after a year plus you all are letting me and my cat hair decorate your world.

Then JAWS and the boys started teasing me and for the first time in my life I did not run away hurt like I normally do. I realized (with the wisdom of Rudi and good buddy JAWS) that people who tease you without attacking you like you (I hear a Sally Field speech coming on!

Most people I know don't "get" FlyerTalk. Well I guess they are not interested in meeting a very facinating and classy and warm and friendly and supportive bunch like you all (Yes, you too arturo!)

Thank you!
