I just got this e-mail from Randy Petersen. I'm sure I'm not the only one:
I had the luxury today to have two uninterrupted minutes in my work day and a single thought popped into my mind - to say thanks to some of the most supportive members that FlyerTalk has. You are on that list and it is amazing to understand how you have found more than 5,000 times to pass along words of wisdom (OK, a little teasing as well) to your fellow members on FlyerTalk. On its "good" days, the value that FlyerTalk is for hundreds of thousands of people can certainly be traced to you.
You've all been unselfish with your time and your contributions and today, as many other days, i want you to know it is well noted and very much appreciated.
A simple thanks...
Randy
I just have one thing to say: Randy, it's we who should be thanking you!
(Added later to clarify my reason for posting this: I'm fairly sure that I got this because of my post count, which just means I've been around for a while and ought to get a life It doesn't mean I'm anything but persistent, so I'm not bragging - I just thought it was a nice gesture on Randy's part and deserved to be known even by those whose 5,000th post is still in the future.)
