Dear FT Community,

I have been reluctant to post in this thread because I have no need or desire to bring attention to myself other than what happens in my moderator role - and even then, I would hope my decisions are as uncontroversial as possible.

However, I feel I need to acknowledge the well wishes I have received in this post as well as in the numerous emails and private messages.

While I have not met most of the people who have posted thus far in this thread (with the exception of Doc and SanDiego1K), it is heartening to read your positive thoughts about Randy's decision. I will do my best to not give you a reason to question that trust and, in return, I hope you can all remember those positive thoughts when you may disagree with any actions I may have to take to "Keep The Peace" in this forum.

I have done my best to serve this community as a member of the Talkboard, a moderator in Coupon Connection, and as a general member of the Flyertalk community. I look forward to continuing my service in this new role.

Thanks again your your kind thoughts... not necessary, but sincerely appreciated.

Now, as my Signature Line said, "Create A Great Day".

William
