As you can see I am a relative newcomer, but enjoy the information and advice given in the various forums on the frequent flying community. When I first came across frequent flyer, I read and got to enjoy postings by Rudi, Catman, Austman,Merry, Blonde Bomber etc. Now I do not see many postings by Austman as well as Catman, but this may be life. In my 50+ years I have enjoyed MANY pastimes and sports, but there has always been a time when I recognised that I no longer got the "buzz" from what I was doing. No"Ifs" or "buts", I stopped doing them and found a new exciting area.

To continue doing something when your heart is not in it is a waste of time and effort. To further compound by "threats" of leaving etc is essentially a plea for help, though I do not know what help.

My message to CATMAN is, if you heart is not in F..T then stop posting right away. You will miss it for a while, but if you engage in a new activity you will be refreshed, and if you bring to that what you have brought to these Forums, then you can only help to enrich the lives of this that interface with you.

I hope you will CONTINUE to have your heart here, but I do urge all who read this NOT to do any more postings on this thread. It is starting to become abusive and destructive.
