I think that what izzik was trying to say is that you will probably get a better response if you have a thread that is titled:

"DFW: 8-12 Aug. Would love to meet FlyerTalkers for dinner any night."

Or something like that. Then folks who will be there will be more likely to read the thread and respond.

Now this is serendipitous and fun. One night we struck up a conversation with a gentleman at the couresty shuttle bus stop at LAX (well, I think it was LAX) and our chat went to the subject of travel, to FlyerTalk and then on to the discovery that the gentleman in question was izzik's dad. I thereafter met izzik in Hong Kong, of all places.

FlyerTalk makes the world a much smaller, friendlier place. ^
