What a great idea! Like most of you, I couldn't possibly list all the wonderful FT personalities that have enriched my life. But like eastwest, I distinctly remember both catman and premex as being very, very helpful and patient as I first began to get into the FF game. I went from not even knowing what that FF account I had was really for to top status on my airline in a year. I went from having no frequent guest account at all to top status at two hotel chains. And I went from zero to .5M membership reward points. ALL as a result of this community.

That's the tangible. But equally meaningful to me are the cyber-friends and the very real friendships that have transcended this cyperspace collection of aliases.

Oh - there are so many I'd like to name individually, but this would be a VERY long post and ultimately I'd forget someone important. But thanks for the opportunity to say thanks - and thanks to Randy for the place to do it!
