I don't want anyone to think that I started this thread because current active AC FT participants are somehow lacking, such that the gaping hole could only be filled by those missing in action.

I was just thinking that in any great discussion or debate, there has to be different experiences and perspectives. While I understand many who post and who used to post more actively here, likely have very busy lives. Others cannot post for whatever reason.

It seemed that Dorian's enlightening thread about why fly AC once you hit 100K got me thinking about how interesting this forum really is, and this is true even if not all views are to everyone's liking. It also reminded me of some of those missing voices.
