In honor of my 4000th I'd like to reminisce a bit.

I thought I'd take this not so subtle attention-whoring opportunity to thank y'all for letting me hang around here.

Once upon a time, I was just a lurker. But one fateful night in April of 2001 I made my very first post. The rest, as they say, is History. From my first out of town Do, through the planning of SEA-DO VII, the Flyertalk Community has been a huge part of my life. The friendships I've made, and the places I've been able to go because of FT still astound me.

Members of this community met me as a stranger and welcomed me into their cities..and occasionally even let me come back. You offered assistance and support during family and personal crisis'. You showed concern over my job security when the airline industry started to falter. You made sure I found out about the great BA "fare sale". You show up for the Do's I've hosted. You make sure I get included in those Do's I can't attend (love the drunk dial!!) You didn't laugh too hard when I fell off the escalator in front of everyone in that department store in Paris. You've sent me awesome secret santa gifts. You taught me how to say very naughty things in foreign languages. And some of you have worn my lingerie..on your head..in public.
Can you not just FEEEEEEL the love??

This community will continue to grow and change as all communities do, but regardless of where it goes, or if we go along with it, I hope you all remember the amazing moments with far more passion than the disappointments.

YOU GUYS ROCK THE PARTY!!

Gros Bisous!!
