Thank you for a very heart-warming thread!!

I was fearing that upon my return from vacation I'd see more pointless drivel of the kind we have seen of late (not singling out anything or any one). What a nice suprise.

I'll add to the lists in concepts (find your own darn threads ).

*When 40-50 of us realized flying to Hawaii for one weekend was not as dumb an idea as we first thought.

*When real-life events brought us together to honor one of our own (Rudi's 'Niners jacket, Matt's baby, etc).

*When we were able to all participate in mileage bonuses and promotions that were only sent to one of us (HHonors gold challenge, United survey, etc.)

*The humor (If Airlines sold Paint, Freeblusky, "interesting" FA announcements,
*The first Flyertalk individual get-together (Rudi and Matt) and group get-together (Boston).

There are a lot of riches to be found on this board if you look back. If you're new here, please take the time to look back and enjoy the sense of family and flying. All are welcome here. (But please don't interpret that as an appreciation of and request for posting 4 or 5 meaningless retorts on each old thread...We've had more than our share of frivoulous posts of late.)

Some of us here could learn from the golden rule. Actually, some of us could learn from simply listening to others with the same respect they want for themselves.

Again, for both the great elements and questionable ones as well, Thank you Randy and the Webflyer staff for giving us this forum.
