Rudi is one cool Dude that doesnt need anybody to throw him praise, but credit must be given where credit is due.

Let us all not forget Rudi is the prime example of a community member that helps hot-headed newbies like myself re-think our posts and edit them after we have clicked the "post" button. Rudi is always one of the first members of the community in welcoming newcomers to these boards, he is never tired of answering the same question 400 times (without just posting a link).

Rudi will even send you a follow up email to give you personalized advice. I experienced all this and more during my first 2 weeks at Flyertalk, all courtesy of the same Swiss Gentleman.

Its things like this that show you that no matter what the rules are or are-not, no matter who is appointed Moderator, President, Vice-president or Talkboard Member, there are some people on this board that because of certain intangibles create order & civility by their mere presence, with no need to throw their weight around or have some sort of badge to flash.
