I thought this was an original idea, until I checked the FlyerTalk Archives and found this thread, which amazingly never made it past the first page.

The FlyerTalk community has grown considerably since the original thread was posted, so I thought I would give a second attempt at this idea.

Because I currently cannot ressurrect the original thread, I thought I would start a new one here.

--------------------

I have been monitoring FlyerTalk for years without posting, but I finally felt compelled to post my first milepost ever on FlyerTalk on December 16, 2002 at 9:07 in the morning Mountain Standard Time when I was angered by the changes that Delta Air Lines had in store for the SkyMiles program at the time and I had to speak out.

That milepost can be found in the You are the CEO of _____ Airlines. thread, which is also the first thread I have ever started on FlyerTalk.

It took me a long time to post on FlyerTalk simply because I did not believe in participating in Internet bulletin boards and Internet chats.

I continued to post on FlyerTalk well after my anger subsided because I had already gained from this community previous to my first milepost and felt I needed to give back to it by helping other FlyerTalk members, and (for those of you who are now familiar with my warped sense of humor) I started to also have fun in the process!

FlyerTalk remains the only Internet bulletin board in which I actively participate.

When did you post your first milepost on FlyerTalk, and what was your reason for doing so?
