Not long ago, FlyerTalk crossed the threshold of 700,000 members; and it is about to cross the threshold of content posted 30,000,000 — that is 30 million — times over the past 20 years. If my math is correct, that means that you would need greater than 57 years to read everything which has currently been posted on FlyerTalk at the rate of one milepost per minute.

To my knowledge, nothing which officially commemorates this milestone is planned; so I thought I would simply acknowledge it...
Those of us around since before the 1998 date was set up are growing fewer and fewer. Proud to be part of that group and pleased to see our efforts continued to date.
